I just bought a Seagate SATA 500GB ST3500630AS to replace my old Seagate IDE 100GB but after transferring and partitioning my the drives I went ahead and checked my temps. My HD had hit an observed high of 55c and I'm pretty sure it was higher during the install because I had both drives in next to each other running at full speed and Speccy and Speed Fan can't observe while outside of the OS so they can't tell me anything. What I want to know is "Is it ok to have 47-55c operating temps on a hard drive?"
