Hard Drive Temps... too high?

Seagate 7200.9 sits at 29C idle and hottest i've seen it is 33C.
I do have an intake fan in front of this though.

must be a pretty high cfm fan you got

seagates are hot drives the max working temp for seagates are in the 60c

my seagate drives without a fan are in the 60c
with a fan their about 39c

my western digital drives without fan are in the 40's
with a fan their in the mid 20's
max working temp for western digital is 53c

i dont buy maxtor or any other brand

I have an intake fan of my 300gb seagate and it idles around 32c, its only a 14db acoustifan infront of it.

It's an 80mm YS Tech but controlled with a fan controller so its pretty inaudible.

image removed cos its massive but it showed 30C lol
