But as pointed out, you need to know the vendor specific interpretations. I have 
no idea what a temp of "107" is supposed to mean ;)

My 4 WD250s are around:

194     106       0     no      online  positive    Temperature
194     111       0     no      online  positive    Temperature
194     104       0     no      online  positive    Temperature
194     114       0     no      online  positive    Temperature
