WD Elements 14TB running hot

[Hammer!]

Hi, brand new drive. crystaldiskinfo is showing temp of 50 degrees. Is this normal? It’s not shucked so running in upright position is original case. Thanks!

Yes, 50-55C is normal. There's no fan or anything.

I don't even bother shucking them until I've done a full format (not quick) and scanned it for errors just to make sure the drive isn't bad.
