HDD temps

[ghat]

hi

I just setup monitoing on my media server, and I see that the disks in the Norco racks are between 60-67C as reported by smartctl

Is that too high... ?

The system temperature is at about 35C and one of the lone disks in another norco rack is like 30C

I have checked that the Norco fans do work.

hi

In my old system which is not cooled properly...

Device Model:     WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0

194 Temperature_Celsius     0x0022   106   092   000    Old_age   Always       -       44

in the new system, which seems to have better cooling etc...

Device Model:     WDC WD4001FAEX-00MJRA0

194 Temperature_Celsius     0x0022   085   079   000    Old_age   Always       -       67

My hope was that my new system would be able to keep the HDD's more cooler than the old system...
The system and cpu temp is like 35C, one HDD temp (which is lone in one rack) is 30C, and all the rest of the drives are > 60C, I was hoping to keep them <40C.....

Is it normal to see such high temps in norco racks ?
