How to reduce temperature of HDD?

HDD Health always alert the temperature of my Seagate HDD rises to 47, or 48 degree C.

Any brother, please advise me how to reduce the temperature of it, my computer cabinet already installed with two fans at the back.  Thanks

change a new fan inside your computer

maybe your fan is too old

also make sure you clean up the dust inside your computer case

全部是新的, 只用了三個月,
其實想問一下, Fan 是應該向 computer case 外吹風, 還是應向 computer case 內吹風?

high temp may due to
1) insufficient air flow change inside the case...therefore heat accumulated and teperature rise.
2) in order to improve this situation.... ONLY increase the nos. of FANS in not enough
3) try to clean up the dust filter/louver on the case, so that more fresh air can come into the case
4) improve the air current movement (ie reduce the eddie current inside the case) by installing a fan in the front panel.
5) tidy up the messy cable inside the case to improve the air current
6) high power fan also means more noise, but deosn't mean more air flow if your case is full of dust.

前面的風扇是把"鮮風抽入"機箱裡
後面的風扇是將"熱氣排出"機箱外
