Hard Drive Temperature

[splendid11]

Hello! I have a Seagate ST500DM002-1BD142 500GB that reaches 40 degrees and usually does not exceed that temperature.

The hard drive was in another PC and I never paid attention to what temperature it worked at, because it is practically new, and now I need it in my usual PC.

My main hard drive reaches 38 now in summer, in winter it usually stays at 32. The tower is a micro ATX mini tower and I can only put a fan that blows air out, so the question is whether these are excessive temperatures for hard drives.

Best regards!!

Thanks for the reply!

I've already been looking but it's not very clear to me

Ambient temperature 0° to 60°C (operating)
– 40° to 70°C (non-operating)

Is the maximum temperature supposed to be 60°?

The theory is that it works smoothly between 0 and 60ºC but better if you do not exceed 50ºC

Salu2!

just keep in mind that the higher the temperature, the lower the performance and the worst, the shorter the lifespan
more than 50º is not advisable, look at the laptops and how long their disks last

Thank you very much to both of you!

I will buy you a supplement to cool the hard drives that get too hot in the summer.

Best regards!
