Posted August 30, 2014 Hello LTT community I have a laptop with an ssd and a hdd, the problem is that my hdd is close to the gpu of my laptop and gets hot. So should i move my ssd to the place where my hdd is? Just a pic of my ssd and hdd temperatures: I don't know much about hdds, but crystal disk info says that my hdd has some problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 30, 2014 That temp is fine. I'd only start worrying about temps if they hit ~45c+ Can you add a case fan to blow cool air onto the drives? If so, throw in a 120mm fan or whatever your case can take to cool 'em a bit. But those temps you have are fine. Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

Well, when it comes to gaming, especially the games installed on my hdd it gets really hot, about 55c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's normal, but probably keep the hard drive exposed for a while to cool it. Try to find the plastic covering the hard drive and remove it.

Posted August 30, 2014 Author Either that, or if it's connected by a cable, run the HDD outside the laptop. Nice idea, but the problem is that i take my laptop to school. I have an hdd enclosure. (bought it in taiwan for $8, it is usb2.0) and it is hard to open it (doesn't have a screw) And i can't find a screwdriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would keep your laptop at home and use a netbook or a Chromebook for school. And I wouldn't trust my data with an 8 dollar Taiwanese POS. Worst case scenario?

Posted August 30, 2014 HDDs can take temperatures of 50 deg C and more without too much trouble, so that is not an issue. (source, pdf) However, the "Current Pending Sector" count being more than zero is an indication of a failing drive (source) BUILD LOGS: HELIOS - Latest Update: 2015-SEP-06 ::: ZEUS - BOTW 2013-JUN-28 ::: APOLLO - Complete: 2014-MAY-10OTHER STUFF: Cable Lacing Tutorial ::: What Is ZFS? ::: mincss Primer ::: LSI RAID Card Flashing TutorialFORUM INFO: Community Standards ::: The Moderating Team ::: 10TB+ Storage Showoff Topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
