Your hdd has a temperature of 44°C and had a maximum temperature of 55°C. The two 100 values are SMART indicators which describe device health. Normally a value of 100 means excellent condition.
The columns from left to right: - SMART attribute id (194) - SMART attribute name (Temperature_Celsius) - SMART attribute flag (?) - SMART indicator current value (100). This normally is a relative value. - SMART indicator worst value so far (100). This normally is a relative value. - Threshold - when the indicator value is lower than this value, the hdd needs attention. Some attributes need different interpretation on different drives. My has the following attributes for temperature: 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 037 055 000 Old_age Always - 37 (Lifetime Min/Max 0/19) Current and worst values indicate current and highest temperature so far on this drive. By the way - the temperature is so low, because the Mac has just been booted. - Jan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
