The problem has to do with the external SATA port on the motherboard and the harddrive getting hot. Don't ask me how. But everytime I hoook up my HD to the eSATA port it happens.

Upto 210 F then very slowly it will get down to 63 C. In the BIOS 104C. Its in a raid max case with 450watt power supply and 120mm cooling fan in the back of the case.After about 2 hour it cools down. Today it worked perfect.This tends to happen on power up then after awhile cools down.

What temps is it getting to? where are you reading it from? whats the idle temp in BIOS? Also what case do you have it in? and what power supply?
