Your hard drive is spinning at 4500 rpm or faster, so it is bound to dissipate some heat. I have never heard of a hard drive dying from getting too hot, although it may be possible. As long as the system is running ok, I wouldn't worry about it. Make sure the cpu fan and the power supply fan are running and not covered with gunk. They are a lot more sensitive to heat than the hard drive.<br />
