Hard Drives might do it if the enclosure is poorly designed (no ventilation), but I can't imagine a situation where it would overheat like that that quickly, even in a sealed box. 30k is nothing in database terms, and if their query was that heavy, it would bottleneck on the CPU, and barely heat the drive at all.
