Look at their temperature graph - those are drive-reported temperatures
and thus temperatures at some ill-specified point internal to the
drive.  Offhand, I'd say that even the hot end of their graph is
probably still cool enough that I wouldn't worry about it - I've found
drives in service on whose outer casings I didn't dare leave my finger
for fear of injury.
