I have 3 hard drives inside my Antec Sonata III 500 case. I have 1 Seagate 7200.10 250GB hard drive, a Samsung F3 1GB drive, and a 500GB seagate 7200.10 hard drive. All 7200rpm
I have an external 2GB Samsung 5400rpm drive.
I'm finding that the 250GB seagate consistently sits around 50-55 C when the cover is on, when I take the case cover off, it hovers around 50. The 1GB Samsung and 500GB Seagate sits around 41 w/ cover off, and 45 w/ cover on.
The external sits around 40 C consistently.
Normal heating at cooling in my house, temp kept at 72F or below.
Are these internal temps too high for my drives? I'm thinking about getting a bigger case with better airflow bc of it. Thoughts?
