On a side note (sorry Turin!) what is a safe range for CPU and hard drive temperatures?
|
I don't know if any hard drives are equipped with temperature sensors. They definitely can overheat, but I don't think it's an urgent enough issue to be followed like CPU temperature is.

Well hard drive temperatures can be urgent... Where I live, in the summer it's always dusty. My hard drive is equipped with a temperature sensor, and one day when I checked it, it said the hard drive had a temperature of over 200 degree Fahrenheit! Cleaned out the fan system of the half-inch of dust that was coating everything, checked again after allowing time to cool, and the temperature dropped to 76F. I'm betting that if the hard drive was running at over 200 degrees for very long, it could have easily resulted in a failure.
