Yikes!

Some of my drives report "Min/Max Temperature Limit":

HGST			-40/70 Celsius
Maxtor			0/71 Celsius
Samsung			0/70 Celsius
Seagate			10/60 Celsius
Toshiba			10/60 Celsius
Western Digital		-40/70 Celsius


Does anyone know the SMART definition for "Min/Max Temperature Limit"? 
Notably -- is it operational temperature limits, or non-operational limits?
