  what temperature should your drives be?

  Posted by Milton Hockman on October 24, 2007 at 2:22 am

  i downloaded iStats for my G5.
  it shows me the temperature of my drives.
  my main 80GB HD runs around 115F and the new WD caviar 500GB i installed today is running at 110F.

  is this normal temperatures?

  Drive Bay – 88F
  backside – 79F
  u3 heatsink – 130F
  cpu A Amb – 85F
  cpu A – 113F
  cpu B Amb – 83F
  cpu B – 115F

  It depends if you’re using the rectal mode or under the tongue mode. Contact your hard drive manufacturer or see their “normal operating” as listed on their website.

  I can not tell you if those temperatures are normal or not. But what is sure is that the only way to ensure a longer life for any electronic device is to keep it as cool as possible.
