It's really bizarre that you would have *two* brand new drives both
experiencing these overheating issues.
They're probably still under warranty, so maybe you should contact WD
about it.
I will contact them and see what they can tell me about the drives. I take
it, then, most people don't have overheating problems with their drives?

I went to their website and found no information regarding overheating and
this particular drive. I don't really want to give them a call, either.
For now, I will guess that a part of the problem is the cabinet the drives
were installed in was *really* *o*l*d*. I have ordered a new cabinet, and
I will see if that helps.
The older cabinet crammed the hard drives on top of each other. They
pressed against each other like lustful lovers, and it is possible they
couldn't get enough air. There certainly was no room for adding hard drive
cooling fans or anything.
The new cabinets have more space, and may be able to resolve this issue,
just by giving the hard drives room to breathe. I may try messing with the
SATA drives again, but as yet, I do not know when.
I just hope they weren't ruined.
Love & Friendship & Blessed Be!
