HDD Temperature v1.1 Beta Build 120

Heat can accumulate within computer systems due to a clogged fan, failure of air conditioning, operating more drives than the cooling system can handle, and so on. Unfortunately, these conditions can go completely unnoticed until a failure occurs. The resulting stress can lead to unexpected failures and even data loss. Because of the essential nature of today's workstations and servers, such risks are unacceptable for many users.

A qualified guess is that Hdd Temperature is depending upon SMART-functions in the drive. Most new drives (the last three years or so) are equipped with SMART. You havent disabled it in BIOS?

[war59312]

SMART is enabled. Yea thats what I though. Thats why I said thats what it said.

So I guess it dont like my western digital 80gb 8mb cache drive.

damn, my hdd is running @ 130 degrees F average, now I know I need a new case / cpu cooler / psu

My 20GB WD spare is not supported it seems. I'll wait until I get my "not IBM but Hitachi" 60GB Deathstar :P back from repair and try that. Looks interesting. I had a temp monitor prog in win98 that sucked up most of the resources. No wonder it ran hot! Duh!
