Should I be worried about my WD Red Pro's temps?

I just got a new HDD, a WD Red Pro 4TB, moved everything onto it and went to check the sensors -It's currently sitting at 47C, as I'm writing this.

The front bays on my case (the HAF XB) have a bit of a reputation as hotboxes for drives, but this is the first drive I've actually had go that high. I'm currently looking into ways to cool it (it's not like a regular front cage that's right next to a fan mount), but in the mean time I'd like to know if I should be worried. Assuming I find a solution in the near future, should I be fine running it this hot temporarily?

 

Additionally, if anyone has any ideas on a cooling solution (or any other way to run it cooler), I'd appreciate input.

well mine sits around 40 so i wouldnt worry about it. But it would cool down if you added some fans.

IMO don't let them get over 40C 

Can Anybody Link A Virtual Machine while I go download some RAM?
