Hard drive temp is now 23C from 36C

Decided to add some active cooling to the hard drive and can't believe how fast the temps dropped with the fan on. I figure maybe the drive will last longer running cooler.

39C here. Mind you, that's a Cuda IV in a single-fan system.

What's your setup?

- M4H

Hard drives seem to be fine until 50C. I know hard drives that I own that run at 40-45C and they're 6-8 years old!
