Power Outages In The Midst Of Defragmentation? Lol...if anyone ever experienced it...mmg very badluck tongue.gif

QUOTE("spartacvs")
What is the ideal temperature for HDD and is there any programme or software that detects the temperature of the HDD? I think I need to install some fan into my pc as it always heats up pretty quickly. Not a good thing I suppose.

Try downloading "Hard Drive Inspector Pro" smile.gif I am using the software to monitor my HDD temperature...it will warn you when the HDD is getting too hot. My HDD drives, under normal condition operates at 90 Fahrenheit but when I am downloading things from Rapidshare with HiDownload, the temperature increases up to 105 Fahrenheit. Most HDD nowadays can stand up to 130 Fahrenheit.

Hope this helps biggrin.gif

EDIT: One more thing, if I on the PC 48 hours non-stop, the temperature does not really increase...So far it has only reached up to 115 Fahrenheit. And btw, I'm using 80 GB x 2 Western Digital HDD cool.gif

My previous PC used Maxtor but it gets too hot pretty easy...so I'd recommend everyone to use Western Digital HDD's if you are a hardcore downloader laugh.gif
