My external 300 was originally formatted as FAT32, but I think it came with
a warning not to run Scandisk on it from XP. I reformatted it to NTFS
anyway.

Half of it is for backup, that's why I need more. I need one 300 just for
photos, and another to back it up. As well as archiving onto DVD as well of
course. Can't be too careful.
Am wondering whether to use removable hard trays for each drive, or put them
all in external USB cases (bit more pricey that option). Any views?

Like I said, fan noise tends to be periodic, intermittent. Maybe the
"blockage" has cleared itself?
