Panasonic Heatsink Sheets
PGS (Pyrolytic Graphite Sheet) is a heat sink sheet with high thermal conductivity and high flexibility. PGS is made of graphite with a structure that is close to a single crystal. This is achieved by highly-oriented polymer film sheet, a process which has never been implemented before.
Could this be used in one of those rubber boxes as heatsinks?

Well, the lil buggers sure aren't cheap...

60mm x 90mm -- $30
90mm x 125mm -- $58
125mm x 180mm -- $105

- be nice to have a pic of 'em though

Yeah, that'd be great stuff to use. It's more conductive than copper and flexible (no vibes transmitted) too. And thin enough (0.1mm) to kinda act like a heat pipe to the outside of the rubber box. It's pretty expensive though. Maybe a few strips of aluminum foil might work as a ghetto substitute?

Ghetto?! You could spend thousands covering a drive at those prices!

I wasn't calling the graphite sheets ghetto. I was calling aluminum foil a ghetto substitute!

why not use roofing lead
it's flexible and should conduct heat - has anyone tried?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think those things work are flat heatsinks as, not just for transfering heat to a sink, prob thanks to massive surface area becasue of crystal structure on a tiny scale.
