HDD temperature

[newman555]

I never really wandered about this, but now I bought another hard disk, so now I have WD Raptor74 and Seagate Barracuda 320gb in my computer. Temperatures that programs show are 38C and 42C. Is this normal? and what is recomended? Thanks

Yes that's normal and also by placing a fan in front of the hd to keep them at good operating temperature. I'm guessing the Raptor for OS and the Barracuda for storage?

where can i put fan so that it is in front of the hd(any picture,or something would be nice,cause i don't understand where)? yes, i'm using raptor for os.i mean, i have it since a bought my computer(2 years ago) and finally i bought seagate because it was really hard with only 74gb.

Do you have a pic of your system?

no, but thanks anyway. i was just worried that the temp was to high or something but if it's normal, than no problem.
