How important are hard disk temps to monitor, especially if you have lots of them in a single case?
anything below 30C is multiplying failure rate by 5x.keep it between 35 and 45 ideally. 50 is preferable to 30.
>>108027020i keep mine at 12C
>>108027072The ideal temperature range for a hard disk drive (HDD) is generally 25°C to 40°C (77°F - 104°F), which promotes longevity and optimal performance. While most drives operate safely between 5°C and 50°C (41°F - 122°F), temperatures exceeding 50°C (122°F) for extended periods can increase failure risks.
>>108027184Didn't the result of the testing shown in the OP end up proving HDD temperature and failure rate really didn't play into one another? The only result that seemed to come of it is that Seagate is for some reason slightly more sensitive but hardly by any considerable margin.
>>108027184>25Ci'll take real life data over some paper recommendation.
>>108027184Thanks Gemini, but you may be wrong.>>108027344Isn't this just observer bias because more drives in this sample data were running at that temperature and thus more of them failed?
warmer is better than cooler provided you're not hitting ~60c
Are Hitachi drives indestructible?I still have a 15 year old Hitachi 1TB drive with one relocated sector
>>108029041I hope my WD Reds last that long (they won't)
It shouldn't be a problem unless you're running a server or reading/writing data constantly
