When you touch them, does it feel about right. While it is warm, it is
not that warm that you couldn't make a guess if it was right or not and
you shouldn't hurt yourself. The reason I mention it is to have a
second opinion if hddtemp is working correctly in your installation.
I have not run hddtemp but have run some vendor utilities from hitachi
and they gave bogus info back on HD temp
Good advice - tho I think 50 degrees C will burn your hand in about a
second, so yeah - be careful!
The fact that both the IBM and Hitachi drives are recording similar
temperatures suggests that hddtemp is probably reading them correctly.
You could emerge smartmontools, and see if its temperature readings
agree with hddtemp (they should).
