First off I'm willing to bet that hda is above (physically) hdb. Heat rises so ... mine IC35L080AVVA07-0 /dev/hda: IC35L080AVVA07-0: 42°C ST380021A /dev/hdc: ST380021A: 50°C hdc is over hda. hda is fujitsu the hdc is seagate. No air in the house and 2 fans in the box. One on the cpu and one on the hda drive. There is a 3rd drive in the box (Maxtor) but it doesn't have temp sensors. James
