I've implemented the hddtemp service, and see that my HDs, one an IBM

This seems a bit too warm for my liking.

Are these 'normal' running temperatures for these ATA 7200 RPM disks?

Cheers, Dave

Those temperatures seem a bit high for comfort. Try a fan or similar - I've got 4 Maxtor 6E040L0's with a fan in front of 'em and hddtemp reports 26-29 degrees C (These particular disks are known to run fairly cool, so for yours I'd look for temperatures in the 30-39 range).

Cheers
