3)What is the average tempature that a harddrive should be at? Will a higher capacity drive have a higher tempature than a lower? I want to get a bigger harddrive and I am a little woried than a 250G will drastically increase the temprature inside my case.
Heat is based on spindle speed (5400, 7200, 10000, 15000), not capacity. A 30gig drive spinning at 7200rpm is going to be warmer than a 200gig drive spinning at 5400rpm.
