Can anyone confirm if this is true? When I ordered a second IBM HD to match my original IBM 120 GB HD, I received a Hitachi disk instead. Maybe the IBM disk temperature readings are bogus, like the Hitachi? I've emerged smartmontools, the temperature readings it gives agree with hddtemp. smartmonctl -a /dev/hdb gives the results below, which looks bad to me. I'd guess that my Hitachi second HD is heading for the great /dev/null. I don't have a thermometer in the house at the moment, but the HD's feel warm, not terribly hot, certainly not too uncomfortable to touch. Any recommendations for cool-running ATA HDs, preferably with a capacity of around 250 GB? Definitely backup time here though!
