Lacus · 31st May 2008, 03:45 PM

I wonder does anyone know if do most hdd has temperature sensors? For some reason, my new WD 6400AAKS hdd does not have 1..I tried using the new Everest Ultimate and HD tune and both does not even show me the temperature of the HDD. Any ideas guys/girls

possible S.M.A.R.T. monitoring has been disabled in the bios ?

It's enable already..or rather on Auto..Should i put it on Enable? Cause at the bios when i start up it's says smart enable and ok.

If it shows SMART on bootup as enabled it should be but I would force it enabled anyway.

Try CPUID Hardware Monitor
CPUID

all hdds have thermal sensor on it no mather dose SMART works or not
and they all need to show temps use Everest to read temps
anyway if hard cant read temps it would push speed to max all the time until it dies and that would be well too soon

There's no thermal sensor on WD HDDs unfortunately.

hmm.. .WD drives does come with Thermal Management and does support SMART HDA temperature Attribute.

Lacus, pass me your email address, I'll give you the software to check for temperature.
