Drives don't create barely any heat. PSU is minimal. Almost all comes from CPU/GPU. Most sandwich cases isolate these components more effectively.

Some of the newer Gen 5 NVME SSDs can create enough heat that they need heat sinks.

That's not nearly enough to meaningfully contribute heat to the interior volume of the case.

Some even need active cooling, but they all go directly on the motherboard anyway so this design doesn’t change anything for NVMEs
