ilovejedd Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 My drives were all spun down and I just started a parity check. Room temperature is 23.3C (74F). The Samsung HD103UJ is reporting a drive idle temperature of 19C. All other drives in the array (Seagate ST31500341AS) are reporting 24C. I've always been amazed that the Samsung drives ran much cooler (normally 7~10C lower at load) than any other drive I use. With these temperature readings, however, I'm now reluctant to trust the Samsung's reported temps. Link to comment
WeeboTech Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I'm now reluctant to trust the Samsung's reported temps. I've always questioned the validity of temperature readings on the samsung drives. I thought it was a placement of the sensor, but to report less temperature then ambient makes it questionable. Perhaps they have some form of threshold that is subtracted. Link to comment
