I'm now using a WD 160GB hdd and its temperature can reach up to 70°C. Is it normal or too hot? What is the maximum safe temperature for hdd?

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Feb 9 2012, 03:17 PM) WAAAAAAY too hot. That's critical levels of a temperature that can be sustained by a HDD. No HDD should ever go above 50c at load. Give or take, even in a notebook... a HDD shouldn't be hotter than 55c (even at 50c, that's way too hot). Your HDD could be toasted anytime at 70c. |
