mineral oil is non-conductive, so nothing shorts out. heat transfers to the oil, away from the parts at an ungodly rate since water and oil conduct disperse heat at a much higher rate than air ever could. this is why liquid cooling is so effective, except instead of running cooled water-blocks you're submerging the whole thing. if you had any worries about hard drive slowing, i'd just get a solid state drive (no moving parts) and be done with it.
