hi guys what should the hd temperture be

The ones in my main PC run at around 33C with an intake fan in front of them to cool the two drives.
In my server, the hard drives run consistently at around 41C with minimal downtime.

But to answer your question, I'd say HDD temps shouldn't exceed 45C.

What kind of ventilation do you have in your case? If you don't already have an intake fan, I'd suggest getting one, it really does make the difference.

mine is 30, not much cooling onto them, they sitting in drive bays, if u dont have good airflow and hot air beeing trapped, probably the case. mine goes:
intake front
2 exhaust
side intake
works very well, 1090t idlign 16 on aircooling, which is good
