Your computer can tell you how much your HDD got heated up...But, how's it possible?Does it have a thermometer inside to monitor its temperature?Lol..Even the softwares like HWMonitor monitor the Hard drive's temperature and provides different statistics such as voltages, spin times...
Know how...!!!
The hard drive has a temperature sensor (or) multiple temperature sensors to monitor the system better and internal control, and this data is passed through SMART (Self-Monitoring,Analysis and Reporting Technology).You’ll find there are variable for everything from temperature to spin time to errors and everything in between. When a failure is anticipated by SMART., the user may choose to replace the drive to avoid unexpected outage and data loss...
