[HELP] WD My Book Studio II temperature

[slyphnier]

Hello everyone

i just got My Book Studio II 2TB yesterday, and after i got home i set it to RAID-1 and format it (full format using windows disk management)

i didn't know whether i should just choose quick format or full format it, but since this is first format so, i thought full format will be better than quick format

What supprise me, is after around 7 to 8 hours of formatting, the drive showing its temperature @50C on everest ultimate
the spec said the operating temperature is 35C MAX... when touching the case, indeed its just a bit warm and only top side of the case that got more heat
so i want to know whether this is normal or did i got faulty product ? or there something wrong with either monitoring software (everest) ?

thanks in advance

As I remember from the last case I had open, there is a big internal fan.

Therefore 50 degree is much too hot.
