that's a good question...I wish I had an answer. I currently run a pair of RAID 0 arrays which spin at full speed all the time, and get quite hot (7200, 8M drives). All of my comps have run RAID 0 arrays for about 2.5 years, and I have never had any problems with heat, although they are quite hot to the touch.

According to the technical specs for both Maxtor and Western Digital, the operating temperature range for both manufacturers is 5 to 55 degrees Celcius (41 to 131 degrees F), and the non-operating temp range is -40 to 70 degrees Celcius (-40 to 158 degrees F).
