I normally buy WD external drives and as a rule i have no issues, however i have just bought 2 x 8TB Elements and one was a helium drive and the other was not.
So talking about the Non-Helium drive just plugging this in and leaving it on (room is 22c) it's reading 52c (using crystaldiskinfo), this strike me a being a liitle high given were in the dead of winter, WD just give standard answer, within range etc. Does this seem a little hi to you folks, i ran some tests using CrystalDiskMark last night and it got up to 55c and the heat coming out the top could have kept my tea warm, should I worry about this temp?
I also have a run the same tests on the helium drive and that is topping out at 41c.
