[pchelpers] Re: How hot is to hot

90-100 F is a good operating temperature.  120 F + is getting high.  My 
husband installed a fan in his and it made all the difference in the 
world.  He hasn't had a hard drive failure in quite some time now (he 
was prone to HDD failures a lot in the past).  I, however, only buy 
Western Digital hard drives for my computer and so far I've never needed 
a fan.  They are known to run cooler than the others.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
