SSD temperature

[Asad]

Hi

I managed to replace the disk with a kingston SSD drive.

Is this normal temperature?

hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: KINGSTON SV200S364G: 73°C

Hi Asad,

Glad to see you are still around.
Do not trust the information from hddtemp regarding SSD devices.

Use smartctl from smartmontools instead.
You will probably not get a temperature reading (I don't think SSDs even have a sensor, no need for it) , but there is loads more there to investigate.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install smartmontools

There is also smartd in that package if you are a bit paranoid like me...

Cheers!
