Does anyone know what is normal and acceptable? Googling not for other info. TIA _________________________ Latest addition 2010 Mac Mini server

I have a 320 GB mounted in a cheap $10 esata enclosure and the drive temp was running 47C so it had me a little worried since all the other drives were in the 37 to 42 range. Should be ok since the drive is on usually only when I am backing up. Thanks anyway. _________________________ Latest addition 2010 Mac Mini server
