Coolest running 2.5" HD

I just noticed something in speedfan. I let it run for a bit in the background while I worked on my laptop, and I realized the HD is the ONLY thing that's heating up! The processor has been at a solid 108 since I first booted it.



My question, should I choose to upgrade the HD in this machine(I might not bother, I don't know...) what is the coolest running HD around? I don't care about performace, just reliability and no heat. Size wise, I wish to at least match this one, 60G...

woah 108C?!?!

thats seems high to me. for it to be on idle..



do you have one of those laptop cooling fan pads? maby that will help.

LOL, dude, where did I say celsius? If it were 108*C...man it would probably be melting! Use some common sence, the "breaking point" of most AMD processors is 60*F. Besides, do you think I'd be using a laptop that's hot enough to boil water! LOL

That's 108*F, and I think the HD's stablized at 93*F. That's Fahrenheit

lol hahhhahahaha oooops.. well you didnt specify..all you said was 108 , im soo use to seing temps all by celcius around here, and its getting late and im tired, so ya.

Western Digital's got the coolest running notebook drive in my opinion.

Im assuming you mean 60*C, otherwise im screwed. and you didint answer, have you tried one of those cooling pads?

LOL, now I'm getting mixed up too Yes, that is what I meant. I use *F most of the time but I know the breaking point in *C



So WD has cool drives? I don't know how their laptop drives are but I know most of their desktop drives are warmer...



As for a cooling pad, I do have one, but it's not very good. There's a fan close to my CPU fan which counter acts it...
