My two hard drives are getting super hot. So hot u cant touch them. Is this an issue? They are no where near full. Both are 150GB drives.

Yes, it's an issue. Generally, hard drives should run at approximately 60°C or less. On the machine I am on right now the drive is running at 31°C. Your chassis MAY have poor front intake ventilation.

I've been using these coolers for a few years, and have found them to be very good.

The screws that come with the unit that attach the cooler frame to the drive are terrible, but it hasn't presented a problem for me since I have several hundred screws available. You should be able to find replacement screws for a few cents at most any hardware
or electronics store.

I don't know how much space you have available, but they do take up almost as much space as a drive. If you have a large hard drive cage, then there should be no problems installing them.

Also, check you chassis and see if you have a position for mounting a chassis fan in front of the drives.
