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?

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.

So what i gonna to do? I have 2 hdd in my computer, one is around 34c and another one around 65c, so i think my cooling system is ok. I want to know wat causes the hdd become so hot.
