I have 5 hard drives in a machine sitting in a cupboard.
/dev/sda is a 500GB Seagate drive, and is the boot disk.
/dev/sd{b,c,d,e} are 2TB drives in a raid6 configuration.
smartctl is showing significantly higher temperatures (like ~140 degrees celsius) on the raid drives than the boot drive.
Do I need to be worried?
/dev/sdb and /dev/sde are new Western Digital Black drives (new=1 week)
/dev/sdc and /dev/sdd are 5 year old Hitachi drives
/dev/sda [SAT], Temperature_Celsius changed from 40 to 39
/dev/sdc [SAT], Temperature_Celsius changed from 142 to 146
/dev/sdc [SAT], Temperature_Celsius changed from 146 to 142
/dev/sdd [SAT], Temperature_Celsius changed from 142 to 146
/dev/sda [SAT], Airflow_Temperature_Cel changed from 61 to 62
/dev/sda [SAT], Temperature_Celsius changed from 39 to 38
/dev/sde [SAT], Temperature_Celsius changed from 107 to 108
/dev/sdb [SAT], Temperature_Celsius changed from 108 to 109
/dev/sdc [SAT], Temperature_Celsius changed from 146 to 150
/dev/sdc [SAT], Temperature_Celsius changed from 146 to 150
/dev/sda [SAT], Airflow_Temperature_Cel changed from 62 to 61
/dev/sda [SAT], Temperature_Celsius changed from 38 to 39
