My hard drives feel rather hot but im unsure whether this is normal?
You cant keep you finger on the side of them for long, there that hot.

thanks for the input, mine are quite hot and the pc quite slow in places, wouldnt be suprised if its down to hot HD's. I have them on top of each other, i think i need to space them out.
