Contrary to what Sun claims, heat generation is not rated in
gigabytes.  It's still rated in watts. ;-)

I'd look up what Sun's other drive is sucking down in power and put
the largest storage capacity drive in there that didn't suck down more
than the sun drive.  There are many drive that only use 10-15 watts.

The biggest challenge is your'll need to find a drive with the funny
all-in-one connector.

I've seen them for sale from the Sun aftermarket places for
unreasonable sums $50-$100.  For that price I'd use double stick foam
tape.
