hddtemp
September 19th, 2007
I just found out about the hddtemp package under Debian. It, unsurprisingly, reports the internal temperature of a hard drive using the drive’s built in sensors. Until yesterday, I had no idea that it existed.
Today, I’m engaging in the first of a several day course of airflow experiments to optimise webserver cooling at my desk.

Yeah, you’ll learn to fear these sensors when your NAS starts sending you emails to the tune of “my internal temp just jumped another degree above my safe point!” and “I just failed to read another sector”. I got that last weekend. I’m thankful it alerted me. I was able to get most of my data off the drive before it emailed me a suicide note.
