Would heat be an issue installing a second hard drive?

[jcavs2017]

Hello,

My old computer has died, but the hard drive is only a few years old so I was thinking of putting it in my other computer so I would have 2 hard drives in it. I have never had 2 hard drives in the same computer so was curious what type of increase of heat would there be from the second hard drive? The hard drive I will be putting in is 5400RPM if I recall.

The hard drive I have in now seems to run at or below 33C at just about all times.

hdd use little power and make little heat so you should have no problems

I use SpeedFan(?) to set my fans to maximum 24/7, thus providing top air flow 'round the clock. We're talking desktop, one can always add another internal chassis fan. Sure, those fan speeds and extra fan will make a little noise, however, such is music to my ears, my desktop has no over-heating problems
