Drive too hot?

Bought a new WD3200AAJS for my dads computer. It seems to be alot hotter then what I think it should. Currently it's running at about 43 Celcuis. Checked the specs and it looks like it's ok up to about 60, but I still think it's too hot.


Is this too hot?? Should I replace it with something else to be safe?
 
That temp is completely fine.

A google research study showed that drives in that temp range had the lowest failure rate.

If you would be more comfortable with the drive cooler, cool it--air flow. There are lots of ways to cool hard drives.

But, again, that temp is fine.
