That's why most manufacturers limit the maximum operating temperature in 50-55 Celsius degrees. Even worse, hard disks are much more sensitive to high temperatures than any other component inside the computer case. Both CPU and newer VGA cards have protection (emergency shutdown) against high temperatures but hard disks have no such protection. Without using software, the user may not notice high hard disk temperature also. In this specific case, there's the issue of temperature accuracy (temperature SMART #s should be standard): But in many cases this time is not enough - that's why it is important to recognize problems and prepare before it's too late.
specifications, when a problem is detected (failure predicted), the hard disk should work for at least 24 hours to perform the data backup.
Newer applications are able to detect, process and display these information.Īccording the S.M.A.R.T. That's why for example it is possible to detect the temperature and the total power on time of many hard disks. Many attributes are used by all manufacturers and they are used in the same (or near same) way. For example, the difference between real temperature and the result measured by the sensor should be less than +/- 3 Celsius degrees. SCSI hard disks work differently: the failure prediction data is standard and there are strict rules about the sensors and algorithms.

In this article, we discuss ATA (IDE and Serial ATA) hard disks only. It is not really a standard - so the meaning of the attributes may be different from manufacturer to manufacturer. Today all modern IDE/Serial ATA/SCSI hard disks have S.M.A.R.T.
