Is my ReadyNas Pro running too hot?
Upgraded my disks and they appear to be running pretty hot. Ambient temp is around 78F. If this is too hot, what can I do to help? Thanks, Stu Device Description ...

BTW, yes, I have cleaned the dust :-)
The above temps were with the side panels off, after putting them back on, the temps are lower, but I'm wondering if still too high?
I think they are ok (after all the datasheet does say 5-60C operating range). Lower temps might be better, but I wouldn't void the warranty or do anything heroic to get them.

Hitachi drives do tend to run slightly higher temps. Yours look similar to my Hitachi numbers at 40-42 °C. I've had mine installed in the NAS for 3 years without issue.
And without the sides fitted to direct airflow correctly throught the unit, the drive temperature will be higher, unless you are pointing a desk fan directly at them... :-)
