Ok so i performed the Anniversary Win 10 update on my Samsung Spinpoint F3 which took an hour, yes i use mechanical instead of SSD as my boot drive, not getting into it.

It read running at 44c when my OS started up which when i Googled is close to the comfortable limit?

Take note my Samsung HDD is now 6 years old, however it's in excellent health and is performing above expectations.

I don't know how reputable this information is so at the moment i am not too worried, and 44c is not something i usually get worried about, but with my Seagate showing signs of it being on it's last legs i have gotten more concerned about my drives and how i can preserve them whilst in full use.

found another site again 60C . Link added .

Thanks man, thought i would ask as i'm a bit less than knowledgeable with HDD's and never looked into it before.
From the perspective of what i linked he said anything above 45c will raise failure rate so i thought it was close to alarm time at 44c :p
