Hi!

You made me somehow curious about the hd temp. Therefore, I monitored it the whole day yesterday. The result was that it never exeeded 35 C. And this temperature was only reached after a rather extensive compilation session (emerge world under gentoo). It seems as if your hard disk really _does_ behave strangely.

Good luck!

Cheers, 
R.
