Question : Problem: Inspiron 8200 Hitachi DK23FB-60 HDD max safe temp

  While running spinrite 6.0 I am getting a high temp warning on the Hitachi DK23FB-60 HHD at 130 degrees F. If I ignore the warning it gets to 142 F. I also use Active smart HDD monitor and as I am writing this the temp is 138. How can I determine the same max temp. The fans seem to run OK.
