Drive temperature is usually higher than the case temperature because the drive is actually doing something. To keep the drive temperature down, you need to ensure adequate airflow over the drive. Fans that blow across the drive surface can do that. Keeping the case cool also helps, again requiring fans to keep a good airflow through the case. Also, don't keep your computer in a hot area.On 28/04/14 06:58 PM, Stan Hoeppner wrote:On 4/28/2014 5:43 PM, KS wrote: This drive is fine. 42C is quite warm for a drive but within acceptable range for the Caviar Black series. Max sustained operating temp is IIRC 65C, with a max short term peak temp of 80C.Hmm.. I wonder why it is at 42C even though I'm running SysrescueCD via the RAM on it.
