Hot hard drive
Running Win XP pro SP2

I installed a Maxtor SATA 500 GB hard drive in my 7 year old computer, using
an IDE/SATA controller. Its running fine.

However, it runs quite a bit warmer (hotter) than my 80 GB IDE hard drive. I
cannot
touch it for more than 5 seconds, without letting go.

Is this high temp normal for a big hard drive? Is the temp of a drive
depending
on the size of the drive?

Thanks
