TA! - I'll try that soon I tend to run such monitors occasionally, rather than have them initiated as part of the windows startup. Especially when I know I'm going to seriously stress a system, or run one in a hot environment - say 33 C ambient temperature in a place with poor airflow, or I'm packing lots of hardware into a small box for a client.
Last one I was advised to use was Speedfan - It (currently) shows the 3 drives in this system running at 31, 34 and 45 The 3 are in dual fan caddies, and I suspect that one of the caddy fans has given up - So I probably gotta get a new caddy for that drive JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Fadden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2006 11:42 PM Subject: Re: HD SMART program - add to Re: Funny Icon in My Computer > At 06:00 PM 10/15/2006, James Button wrote: > >My past experience of SMART data reading programs is: > >Beware of software that doesn't work for more than 2 drives, or for > >drives > >more than 120Gb/137Gb > > SmartFan meets those criteria.
