[SOLVED] Hard drive cooling

[bobbee25]

I have 3 hard drives and 2 ssd's. The hd are 4 and 5 tb.
Temperatures 41, 49, and 48

Theses 3 drives are stacked vertically in the case.

Was wondering that if I took the middle drive out and inserted next to the CD rom drive, would that lower their temps ?

I think....probably...as you would have better airflow.....but under 50C is generally acceptable.

That is within the operating temp for a spinning HDD.

What are considered normal operating temps. Mine seem to be between 41 and 52

For new drives, up to 60C.
