    I want to upgrade my hard disk drive, which gets a little too warm for my liking. Can anyone recommend one with a very low operational temperature, or provide a link to websites which perform such tests?

    Thanks.

    My 250gb 7200.3 runs extremely cool, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wishes to have top of the line hard drive performance along with decent temperatures. Mines idle below 30C (usually around 26-28), and never peaks 40C even on stress for hours.
