I'd bet money that this is a problem, perhaps even *the* problem.

Vibration is a real problem for disks, and fans can cause vibration. It's 
fine to blow air across a disk. I'm much less sanguine about a disk being in 
mechanical contact with something that has fans in it.

If the ambient air temperature in the room is low enough (72F/22C) then you 
oughtn't need any kind of additional cooling. If I properly understand your 
computing environment, then I recommend that you lose that cooling platform.
