my Seagate 7200.9 250 gig is running at 43 C right now
my 2, WD 320 gig are ar 32 and 33 C
my WD 120 gig are running at 34C
My 7200.10 is plugged into a raid and I can’t access the smart data or sensors, it is physically hotter then the 43C drive, with the same air flow.
50C is the upper bound in my mind for hard drive temps, they can take more then that, but i wouldn't. They do make 5.25 inch bay coolers for hard drives; they consist of a mount and some fans that draw across the drive.
