temperature for 1TB USB3 "Expansion" external drive STAY1000202

[ Edited ]

hi,

 

what kind of temperatures are these external drives supposed to run on? all my other external / internal disks are running at ~30ºC.

 

the graphic below is showing temperatures for a period of two hours after the first power-on. activity happened only in the first half-hour or so (copying files).

 

is ~45ºC normal?hdd temperature

 

thanks!

Newer Seagate Expansion drives can safely operate up to 60° C.  I have two of them and they usually run in the 50's without problems.
