im just preclearing a few drives for my array got 2 western digital 2tb greens clearing temp is at 33 oc  , also clearing 2 seagate barracuda 1.5tb 7200.11  they are on 45 oc  they are all in the caddy with same fans  wondering if seagate barracudas  usually run this hot and if its ok?

The seagates are 7200rpm so they'd naturally run a bit hotter than the greens that run at 5500ish, although 45 is about as high as you'd ever want it to go. Are you sure they're receiving the same airflow?

yeah they are in the same bay as the greens case is really cool

Heat rises, so if the Seagate is above other drives, you can try just shifting it around in the drive cage and put it on the bottom.

 

My 2 cents :)
