Ideal Temps?

Hey all, I've been a happy owner of a Samsung Q210 since mid November, but for the last couple of months I have noticed the machine, particulary the hard drive, is becoming hotter than it used to be. Everest is telling me now that it is at 55C and its not doing much more than idling here at work.
It keeps this temperature no matter where I put it be it a bed or a proper table, which is what is worrying me slighty.

Any thoughts on ideal temperatures? I've seen that every degree higher shortens a particular percent of the hard drives life and was just wondering if this is normal.

Don't think I can link to the site so here's the specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 @ 2.26Ghz
3GB DDR2 (666Mhz) RAM
320GB Fujitsu (5,400RPM) HD
nVidia GeForce 9200M GS (256MB)
12.1" Widescreen Display

Thanks in advance.
