I have two similar NAS set ups. One is WD reds in raid 1 other is Toshiba 5TB in raid 1.
One of my toshibas runs hotter than the other. I swapped their position in the case and the same drive runs hotter, so its not a air flow issue its something about that drive that makes it run hotter. Maybe they forgot to lube the spindle .
43c seems a bit warm and will cause that drive to fail sooner. Should I send this back under warranty before it fails? Is that enough of a difference for a return?
WD drives both run at 28c
Toshiba - one runs at 36c other at 43c

not enought to return, unless you are sure that seller admit the devolution
12.1.0.4 - Ingva (revision 7743) on SUPERMICRO X8SIL-F 8GB of ECC RAM, 11x3TB disk in 1 vdev = Vpool = 32TB Raw size , so 29TB usable size (I Have other NAS as Backup)
I would do a factory return and not bother with the seller. They have I think a 2 or 3 year warranty. so lets say it fails as predicted in 2 years. I can deal with it then. But something is causing the heat and 43c is a bit high IMHO.
