Samsung SP2504C 250gb SATA2
Around 33/34c all the time.

Using centurion 532 casing, a blue LED fan blowing at the hdd cage all the time.

my hitachi hdd around 42-44celcius izzit ok ?

Two of my Western Digital Caviar SE hover around 38'C to 40'C

I read an article once regarding the effects of temperature on a HDD, surprisingly... The lifespan of a HDD greatly decreases below 25'C and above 60'C, or was it 50'C?

my Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 160 GB stays at 42-43C all the time
my another WD 160 GB is just 37-38C

why Seagate is hotter? Is it because it is slimmer?

My pc isn't it very hot ? Anyone can give some comment about my pc ?
What mean "Temp1" , "Temp2" and "Temp3" ?

my samsung alwis at 45-55C

Temp 1 is mostly likely your CPU, Temp 2 and 3 could either be the Northbridge or PWM IC.

Thanks .. but may I know what is Northbridge and PWM IC ?
And my pc isn't it too hot ?

well,my Raptor Raid in 0 and running without using any hdd cooler one,temp is 30-32 like that for both.(good ventilation only)

and i can see that Seagate and Samsung hdd is a bit hotter than WD and Hitachi.

mine 42c peak 45c, should be ok i think. Seagate quite hot actually...

Guys pls help me ....

why my system is 50c is that hot?

and why my temp2 is -2c what that mean....




Attached thumbnail(s)

maxtor 35'c
room temp is 26'c

averaging around 48-50 for both of my hdds. new rig, havent bought casing fan for hdds yet. will have to do so soon. my preciousssss... data. lol

radmaszeal, i see ur mobo is the same with mine, what's ur mobo temprature? mine as show is 50~51c is that normal?

roughly the same. 49-50c. lol. cpu 39c. need better air circulation in casing. lazy to buy too many fans. lol.

My Hitachi's HDD temp is around 38c to 42c most of the time.

thanks, i though i hurt the Heatsink of the Mobo....

so 50c is actually normal huh

Temps for my 6 HDs in my case (Aerocool Baydream):

2x 160GB Seagate (one of them is the boot drive with OS, apps and games - heavy usage on that drive).
1x 320GB WD
- all 3 in a stack in 3x 5.25" drive bay with a 120mm LED fan blowing air into case through the HDs
- around 33-36C

1x 500GB Seagate
- in a 5.25" drive bay with cheap 2x fan HDD cooler mounted underneath the HD
- around 33-36C

1x 250GB WD
- in 3.25" internal drive bay mounted over PSU area (not directly over PSU)
- around 34-37C
- there are 3x 80mm LED fans blowing air over these internal drive bays

1x 250GB WD
- in a similar location as the 250GB WD above, but directly over PSU (there is a metal casing separation between the PSU and drive bays)
- around 43-45C
- there are 3x 80mm LED fans blowing air over these internal drive bays
- since the two 250GB drives are identical, and both have the same 3x 80mm fans blowing air over them, I believe the higher temps are from the one drive's mounting directly over the PSU.

anybody know why the temp is -2c?

my seagate barracuda 80Gb sata 41C oh...is it normal?
