T500 and Seagate SSD Hybrid XT

Has anyone used this HDD on a T500? I had recently bought one I used it the first few days with out all the updates and it ran super fast, but I notice a lot of heat coming from the Thinkpad up to 55* sometimes on normal usage. So I updated everything a few days ago now it running not as fast as it was in the beginning, could it be the heat or the harddrive or the updates?

Is 55C for the hard drive?

I try again the Seagate harddrive and I found a really cool way to make it work I cloned my harddrive and it runs great, I think its a horrible driver issue that Seagate has, now the temp on my computer varies between 40c to 44c on my to almost 49c on my bed. Also I changed the thermal paste from grease to silicon paste.
