RE: Hard Drive temperature sensors

["Pedro de Oliveira" <p.oliveira@xxxxxxx>]

I think I didn't make myself clear.  What I am after is a program that can
read my Maxtor D540X-4G.  Speedfan, like all other programs I have tried,
can not read my SMART enabled D540X-4G but can read my Samsung, again, like
all other programs I have tried.

Does anyone have any temp reading program that can specificaly read the
temp data from a D540X-4G  or is this a case of "All SMART drives are
not created equal"?

Thanks
Pedro

If you want to monitor your SMART enabled HDDs then go to

http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

and install SpeedFan

Hi all

Some time ago when the Maxtor 160Gb drives first became avaiable, there was
a flurry of people on ukha buying these... I bought 2 and since having my
problems with another hard drive due to high temps, I wanted to check what
these run at. Even though they are SMART enabled, I can't find anything to
tell me what temperature they are. (I have tried google ;) )

Does anyone who has a Maxtor "D540X-4G" 120Gb or 160Gb drive have
anything
to check the temp of the drive?

Cheers

Pedro
