I've noticed some correlation between heat and platter count but haven't tested the big drives. I don't have a 4-platter. My main volume has been in 200's through 320's. They've been great for office systems so long as I don't bury them or leave the case open. Always fairly careful about placement. Ran a 4hr thrash on a 320 this last week in an old Dell. Office peak was 72f, drive peak was 36c.
Might be interesting to check power draw on a 750.
