I have been having the same kind of readings, but actually they are suspected 
to be farenheit...

I wrote to Western Digital to ask about the temperature ranges, and this is 
what they replied:
[QUOTE from James W (western digital)
The smart software must be giving false readings, it is as though those 
temperatures should be in Farenheit! If this software is reliable then the 
drive is defective. But the readings could be wrong, the drive does not have 
a thermometer and is trying to read SMART and could be falsely doing so.
