HDD Temperature 1.4.206

Every day you turn off your computer and go home thinking that your data are safe and secure on your computer, on your hard disk. But do you know that even a hard disk can break down? And it means that all the data you store there will be lost!

The problem of cooling the computer is not new. The more powerful and faster computers become, the "hotter" they get. The modern Pentium IV 3 GHz processor radiates more than 50W of heat!!! Other hardware is not far behind. Coolers on video cards, additional coolers inside computer cases and power supply units are quite common nowadays.

And only hard disks have no additional means to cool them off while they are constantly surrounded by heat-radiating hardware.

When the temperature of a hard disk rises by 10C, its reliability becomes TWO TIMES LESS!
According to manufactures (for instance, their opinions can be found here and here), the normal recommended working temperature of a hard disk is 35-40С. Once it rises by just 10С – from 40С to 50С, the safety of its work becomes more than two times less!

That is why in the first place hard disk temperature monitoring is a way to prevent the loss of data.

To solve this problem, the PalickSoft company created this solution named HDD Temperature™ (Hard Disk Drive Temperature). This software is used to control the temperature of hard disks and prevent failures in their work due to overheating.
