Toshiba temperature monitor7/11/2023 Presently the two Toshiba internal drives are idle and reporting 37C and 38C (ambient temp is 23C). It's been back up for just over 45 minutes. ![]() This evening I powered the machine down for about two hours. The case is a Fractal Design R5 with the stock fan in front which runs at around 1200RPM. The drives installed internally do have a fan blowing on them though it doesn't offer much CFM. I cannot imagine a drive lasting long in a fanless external enclosure if these temps are typical. About a degree higher than the drives I removed from the USB enclosure. ![]() That brought their temps down to around 47-48C. īoth external drives reached 60C about an hour into the test (the write test takes the better part of 3 days) so I put a fan on them from that point forward. The other two I left in their external enclosures.
