That's close to the limits for HDDs. Most are rated for up to 60 degrees centigrade.

Hi guys, i'm living in a very hot country, average day temperature reaches between 37-40, sometimes less, sometimes more, but i'm just telling you the average.

 

Anyways, i want to ask, my HDD temperature during day times reaches 50 in normal use and 54 under pressure.

 

My question is, is these temperatures safe for the HDD?

 

HINT: in night times, where temperature goes lower, its average 45, in winter times 30-35.

As long as they are under 60C they should be ok.
But just remember the gigher the temprature the less life your hardware has.
So make sure you have your data backed up and maybe get some spares, just in case.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
