My one question would be “How?”

What the hell are you doing that your hard drives are overheating? How do you even know it’s overheating as I’m like 90% certain hard drives (except NVMe if we’re being liberal with the meaning of hard drive) don’t even have temperature sensors?

The only conclusion I can come to is that everything he’s saying is just bullshit.

You need to be more specific than “a child” considering he mentally already seems to be at the intellectual capacity of a 15-16 year old (except without any of the capacity to learn).
