Thermal Image:

Because the Western Digital VelociRaptor is a 2.5" drive encompassed in a 3.5" IcePAK heatsink, it does not overheat very easily. Below is the thermal image provided by Western Digital:

You'll notice that the drive stays around 50-57 degrees Celsius. This is good for a drive, and should not get too hot, or it could destroy the fragile drive.
