WD10EARS Heat Issue

Hi David,

At the time of writing I had the SATA drive and two PATA drives in my mid-tower. I have since removed one of the PATA drives and connected externally it via a USB drive enclosure. The new SATA drive and remaining PATA are now running at 40 degrees celcius, so I’m wondering if overcrowding was an issue, even though the mid-tower has excellent ventilation.

Thanks.
