Hard drive temperature monitor

The problem of overheating is a vital problem for most modern HDDs, since they are constantly evolving and their capacity and speed are improving. Not everyone knows that when the temperature of the hard disk rises higher than 50-60 degrees centigrade, its reliability decreases significantly and that a fatal failure as well as total data loss may occur.

How to check hard drive temperature and protect your hard disk from overheating?
We suggest to install Active SMART on your PC.
