I am unable to find what the maximum temperature for My HDD's are I have 3 of them listed as under. I am also putting the temp ranges they are reporting using HDD Life Pro and Speed Fan.
1. Seagate ST3320620AS ( 43 C to 50 C one time it has touched 53 C )
2. Seagate ST3160827AS ( 41 C to 48 C one time it has touched 53 C )
3. Seagate ST3120022A ( 51 C to 55 C one time it has touched 59 C )
Now I am doing what I can to cool them down but opening the cabinet and putting extra fan but these values are without fan.
Where can I find what are the maximum temperatures for these HDD's ?
Ask me if you need to know anything more.
So your kind of pushing it my max ever was 49 in my old case.
2 320's and 2 500's the 2x 250's are not showing due to raid. dont trust my fan speed its 850 or the voltage...
Also note that on some cases the drive runs hotter when open as air just comes from the opening and passes the drives....what case do you have? is there an option for a front fan in front of your drives?
I have used Speed Fan as mentioned in the post and I don't think there is a problem in readings.
I have a normal atx case and it doesn't have fron fan or enough space for it.
I will check out the list and get back .
I have gone through the list of seagate ( Thanks for that ) and have come to a conclusion that the old PATA IDE 120 GB is the one I should worry about as it is nearing the max temp range. The SATA hdd's are fine as long as the temp stay in the high 40's range...
Thanks will get back if I find anything new.

A shame, my HDD runs under 20C quite often, even on a hot day because it has a fan (and a crap one) pulling air over it. Even low speed fans keep hard drives cool, they just need SOME airflow.
Usually 60C is the maximum safe operating temperature for a hard drive (although I haven't checked specifically for these models). So you're sailing quite close to it.
I have purchased a cooler master one (it took me a lot of effort in India ) and unfortunately the front of the case is just wide enough for a 10 mm wide 80 mm fan and the fan I got is fatter for the space.
Can somebody also suggest to me a good hadware seller site which ships internationally as I am unable to find good supply here...
Thanks
