What is the Aux-temp? In the case? If it is, you have bigger
problems than a
hd running very hot.
On my various workstations and servers, I've never seen
temperatures above
50°C. Some of the high-rpm scsi-drives I have run pretty hot
too, about 60°C,
but the AC takes care of that.
I have seen high hd-temps on some older ibm-drives with
more-than-usual-platters within. In most of the cases, these
have failed
operation with short notice, ie within a few weeks after
discovery.
Do you have some kind of airflow over your drives?
