I wouldn't bother with a case like this without active cooling, at least a slim fan or something. No reason for my hard drives to reach up to 75c or higher in summer.
The article states, "To ensure that the drives installed in the DAS do not overheat, the product also has its own cooling system." That line is buried pretty deep in the article, but I think your need would be met if active cooling is the only thing you feel this DAS box is missing.

Ahhh a USB DAS with a power button on the front. It's the little things...GreenReaper - Thursday, January 23, 2020 - link
And a knob on the back, apparently. Pity we can't see that bit. I guess it's the same as this but without Ethernet and USB? https://www.anandtech.com/show/14982/owc-mercury-e...Answer: yes, judging by the video at the product link.
