    i have a western digital hard drive and it gets up to 50-60 C do you think its too high,even if i am browsing(only browsing) it gets hot. is there any way too control its heat. i tried unchecking the indexing thinkg but its not worth the hard drive still gets hot. is it safe to run the laptop with screws of the hard drive removed i mean the hard drive cover which hides it from being visible. i think by doing this it can get more air??

    my GPU and core temps are around 55-65 C. i think the hard drive should not get that hot.
