My problem is not really that I fear the HD will have a failure, it is
more that I do not like it to remains cool for hours and heats up for
no reason, and cools down only after a hard-reboot. That does not look
like "normal computer behavior" to me. Beside that, the HD temperature
is highly uncomfortable under my right palm. I tend to prefer less
efficient but comfortable computers :)

So, should I understand that I am the only one having such an odd
problem with his T41p ?

Cheers,
