Dear Friends,
I use HD Tune in Win XP Professional to monitor my hard drives. I have two hard disks - Seagate 8 GB and Samsung 20 GB. HD Tune shows 0 degree temperature for Seagate and 31-37 degree temperature for Samsung. I suspect 31-37 degree is too high temperature for a hard disk. Please tell me whether the temperature of Samsung Hard Disk is okay or high. Why HD Tune shows 0 degree temperature for Seagate Hard Disk? Is there any way to lower down the temperature? My computer some times shuts down illegally itself. I suspect the high temperature is one of the possible causes. I seek help in this respect. Thanking all of you
Yours sincerely

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I found a great article for you: http://www.heatsink-guide.com/conten...tent=hdd.shtml - I wouldn't worry about that temperature, hard drives are designed to operate at higher temperatures. The article also suggests cooling solutions for you.

As for the 0 reading, I would check that the software is monitoring the correct drive.

Yup , that temp is just fine for a HD and nothing to worry about. But did you also look at the tempertures of youre processor and motherboard? You could use this app for that:

And does that shutting down happen when doing something specific , or just random?
