WD S-ATA teplota

[Panoramix0903]

Zdravim.

Mate niekto problemy s reportovanim privysokej teploty na S-ATA diskoch WD. Mam konkretne verziu WD1600YD RE 16MB cache. Zo supportu WD mi poslalli toto:

The temperature being reported is false. We are aware of the problem and are working on a solution. Our apologies for the trouble this issue is casuing. We do not know if and when a utility will be available to fix this. The drive is not defective but the temperatures that the revision of the drive you are using report to software are incorrect If possible, try (once) to open the tower and put your hand on the drive when it is reporting a high temperature to make sure the drive is not hot.

The drive reports 20 to 30 degrees C above the actual temperature. It is not a defective drive. These series of drives built between October 25th, 2005 and before mid-April 2006 have this issue. There is no upgrade utility option to fix this issue in the field. A factory calibration routine anomaly causes the drive to report temperature readings that are up to 20C higher than actual. Otherwise, the drives meet all of WD’s quality, reliability and compatibility standards.

Simply subtract 20 degrees C to know the correct temperature. We have no fimrware update as yet. I would like there to be one soon too but I am not aware of there being any such fix planned. perhaps?
