    Browse to the bottom of HD Tune website and download Driver power manager. Set settings to performance.
    You can also download hd tune from the same page to check temp. Hard drives are diferent and 55 is already very bad for HD's unlike for cpu and gpus.

    Do you think this works?

    Post your results. Thanks.
