I was thinking most drives at these currents were recommended to be heatsinked.
It's really not that big of a deal to me. I wouldn't want to try and fit it in a really small host but something like the "Big Chunk" host works great. I just stick the inductor to the module heatsink and a strip of copper from IC to host. Works for me. YMMV.
Heatsinking or not though, the current on his drive isn't hitting 2.4A - so there's something wrong, regardless of the heat issue.
