O.P. Hard Drive
Hello everyone,
I have been questioning about this a lot recently, and a lot of people have given me advice, but I do not know if this is correct. My hard drive is a Fujitsu Siemens (do not know the product id) which came with the computer and is running at an average temperature of 45-50° Celcius (even up to 55° whilst long gaming). Several shop keepers have told me that it is normal for a hard drive to run at about 30° Celcius, and that this high temperature may depleat its life expectancy, and data loss might occur. I have thought about a hard drive cooling fan, but apparently it does not help much. Therefore my only other option is buying a new one (which I do not know if I should).
Thank you for your support,
philipe
*Note: The temperature is taken with a heat sensor (Cooler Master Aerogate II), and the hard drive is not connected via SATA.
