Different hard disk manufacturers use +different raw values in their S.M.A.R.T. data and the hddtemp.db file +helps to map raw values to actual temperatures. + +http://www.guzu.net/linux/hddtemp.php +https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/hddtemp/ + +The hddtemp.db file does not include more recent hard disks as the +project does not appear to be maintained anymore. To resolve this, +simply add your disk to the file manually. Run hddtemp on your drive +to get the expected string and use the other entries in the file as +templates to create a new one. + +Note that only a few hard disks actually differ from the 194C value so +you can bet your disk will probably use that value too, but I +recommend using older drives from the same manufacturer that are in the +file as a guideline. |
