hard drive temps

[th3 godfather]

whats a resonable hard drive temp? i'm looking to move my hard drive tray thingy so i can improve airflow and to throw the hard drives into my 2x3.5" bay. will they get too hot or will they be just fine in there?

My HDs stay in the low to mid 30s

are they in your 3.5 bay w/o a fan? i have 2 80mb 7200rpm maxtors that would be on top of one another so im guessing they would get rather toasty.

All my HDs are right next to each other in the 3.5" cage (the bottom one of this case, SX1040) with a low speed 80mm in front of them.
