Over Heating 1TB. Blue

My New 1TB. Blue Hard Drive is only one day old and it is already over heating. It was 46 Degrees after only 7 Hours of use. Any body have any suggestions.  Thanks.

Hello,

According to the drive specification sheet it should work properly within the range of 0 to 60°C

side note:

A good quality fan blowing across your drives in the drive bay area is vital to preserve and extend life of hd’s.
