    I have been testing a fully fanless system and had 2 160 gig segate sata 2 drives in Smart Drive 2002C HDD Silencer Enclosures. I stopped recording temperature when it reached 50c on idle. I intend to go back to using Zalman Heatpipe drive coolers . I have 4 other drives running with the Zalmans plus low fans and temps of 27c 24 c and 29c 26c ( lower temps nearer the fan)

    I have no idea how hot is hot for drives but would rather have a little fan noise and 30c than silence and 50c

    Although it depends on what manufacturer and type of hard disk you have, I would say never go above 55*C.
    Desired is like 45* (or even lower of course), then you've got some play.
