[Shop-talk] Installing a Network device in a safe.

OK, so while I was looking at high end gun safes, I noticed that they now 
come with a RJ45 passthrough as well as 110v AC inside.  I was told this 
was so you could put a network storage device (NAS) in it to keep your 
data safe as well.

My question is, is there enough air flow in a safe to have a few hard 
drives running in there?  I have a Seagate BlackArmor 4 TB NAS that I want 
to put in the safe.

Is there a certain temperature I need to maintain? Is there an effective 
way to monitor the temp inside the safe?

Thanks in advance.
