Recently purchased an external drive, the Seagate expansion 14TB external hdd, it's a 7200 rpm drive and comes with an 18W power adapter. On idle it's 54°C(130F) and while reading/writing it reaches 64°C(148F), should I be worried? I'm afraid if put a small table fan near it it, the constant vibrations will reduce it's life span in the long run, any other cooling solutions?
