is 109 degress F a good running temperature for your harddrive or is it a bad one

That's a bit warm if you are actively cooling it but nothing to worry about

k but what does actively cooling mean

Cromewell · Jul 25, 2005

having a fan or something on it

j0hn00 · Jul 25, 2005

It means that there is some kind of additional mechanism cooling the HDD.

Cromewell · Jul 25, 2005
