Overheating - WD My Book Duo 16TB

My disk monitoring software (StableBit Scanner) is frequently warning me of a overheating condition of both disks in my My Book Duo. The message is below.

One or more disks are overheating:
• WD My Book Duo 0A10 USB Device - 132.8˚F (Warning at: 131˚F)

Is anything over 131 considered overheating for these drives?

Thanks,
Charlie

Hello,

According to the WD Product Overview the operating temperature is 0°C to 35°C that is 32°F to 95°F.

This means that 131°F is definitely overheating.
