hard disk too hot? wd2005KS

[kiwi]

HDD spec
Operating: 5° C to 55° C
Non-operating: -40° C to 65° C

But its temperature is like above 60C all the time

All my other disks that I had/have never exceeded 50C temp limit

Should I be worried or just hdd sensor is bad? Disk is working at the moment, no major problems

ok, I found out that it is a firmware bug

WD response:

The temperatures reported by all SMART monitoring software is incorrect for the WD2500KS due to a firmware bug. The drive is not defective but the temperatures that the revision of the drive you have bought report to software are incorrect. We are working on a solution.
