    HDD gets high temperature
    Hi everyone,
    My HDD is a Maxtor D740X-6L, I got it from a friend since my old one stopped working.
    I have a software called SpeedFan and it measures the temp. of the CPU and the HDD. It shows always that the HDD is getting hotter and hotter. Now the temperature is 47*C but after some hours it becomes even 50-55*C
    what might be the problem of the rising HDD temperature?
