I am running 2 8TB Seagate Barracudas and it has been over 100 degrees here all summer some days over 110. right now one of my drives started making a clicking sound, nothing too drastic. I went to touch the drives and they were both hot, not warm to the touch. I immediately shut down the server and drives but now I am worried that one of them might be shot. I will be replacing it soon hopefully but I was curious if these temps kill a drive?

Edit: I let the drives cool off and restarted the drive and I am running the drives and there is no more noise
