Yes. They run very hot. I had to steal an old powersupply fan and
mount it in front of the drive to get it to run at a reasonable
temperature. W/o the fan, it was running at 58C or so. With the fan
it runs at 39C or so. I've included the script that I use to find
this information out. Ken Merry sent it to me. It works on some IBM
drives.
