Have a compaq evo laptop with a toshiba 30gb hard drive. The hard drive recently died and laptop warned me through smart failure. I managed to get an identical laptop that didnt power up so got an identical hard drive back in it. Just installed dtemp and the hard drive is at 60 degrees and all im doing is downloading / seeding and browsing web. I think its a 5400rpm one. 60 is way too hot for desktop drives but are laptop ones built to take more heat?
