Hi, while imho 56 degrees Celsius is definitely "too hot" for a disk, it would be interesting if this is the permanent temperature of your disk during the day or just a peak temperature during high load. also interesting might be, whether this high temperature just came up recently or has been there "from the start". In any case you should asap check/repair/clean/enhance..... your cooling system. For comparison, on my main system, my ide harddisk peaks at 42 degrees Celsius during summer time. On my old celeron 500 it never ever exceeds 38 degrees Celsius. I use this system for testing prurposes. Note: This is the disk temperature AFTER I made it "quiet on a shoestring" by using a larger 80mm CPU fan and "violently" running both fans for CPU and PSU at a reduced voltage of 7 Volts. Also please note that I am living in Germany where external temperatures are rather modest, most of the time. Btw. for a permanent graphical overview of disk and system temperatures, I prefer to use ksensors on my main desktop. That apparently can also include smartctl data from the disk(s), at least on my system. For the Celeron 500, which runs headless without a screen and does not support KDE, I use xsensors remotely, but this does not show disk temperatures, so I am running smartctl there, according to the sample that you provided. regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
