F3 overheating? i got 35-38c
while WD black 40-42c..

and actually the f3 is cheap around rm260
wd black rm315.. last i checked for 1tb..
*
for desktop/open space is fine, but for external/media player/confine space, to me it is best to avoid

u worry to much i think.. as 1tb f3 just use 2 platter..
if u say green.. that 1.5tb f3 also use 3plater only..
it using less power n reduce heat also..

f1 n wd black use more platter which generate more heat..
wd green is slow n why pay more..

maybe i am being paranoid gua but my frenz fried his f3 in his media player casing
