QUOTE(ecam @ May 28 2009, 11:45 AM) You should turn off power management instead. Turning on and off hard disk frequently kill it faster. Trust me. Just set to Never. I agree with you on the turn-off power management point. I leave my system on all the time, so the power down benefit outweighs the frequency of powering it up unnecessarily. My drives are used as storage, and they're not active or accessed intermittently. QUOTE(ecam @ May 28 2009, 11:45 AM) Tested and true. My hard disk got a hard on. Haha, that's if they are watched too frequently... |

QUOTE(Langiler @ Jun 21 2009, 02:53 PM) I have one semi dead hard disk on my laptop, it temperature is kinda high and still, can operate normal, but the hdd heat also affect my cpu temp too, and the cpu fan is running like crazy, i wonder any compaq user have the same problem as mine, the hard disk is Westren Digital, Do you enable System Restore and Virtual Memory? These service will intensify HDD usage and heat it up.Do you use adaptive CPU power management? Enable it and monitor CPU speed if it throttles when not used. The above should make lappie operation less heat generative. |

HDD needs ventilation... enclosure if not ventilated will make things worse.
