First, thank you Brad for your efforts, this has been a continuing problem for me and I was thrilled to see someone else had the same problem (since I was convinced everyone had it but no one said they did and I thought I was going insane)
I did a sudo killall update, and it seems like my computer spins down more than usual...
BUT
...I woke up this morning, felt the hdd and it was still indeed warm.
So I think there must be a process other than update which is accessing the hard disk. Now, it seems like it comes on every 10-20 minutes, so I don't think I could sit there and watch what processs.
Brad and others, do you think you could try this: turn off all apps that access hdd constantly and leave the computer on for a night, and in the morning feel the hdd. warm or not? compare it to the right side which is always cool
seriously, about a year ago, the hdd would be COMPLETELY to room temperature.
Hope it'll work out
