The problem of cooling the computer is not new. The more powerful and faster computers become, the "hotter" they get. The modern Pentium IV 3 GHz processor radiates more than 50W of heat!!! Other hardware is not far behind. Coolers on video cards, additional coolers inside computer cases and power supply units are quite common nowadays.
And only hard disks have no additional means to cool them off while they are constantly surrounded by heat-radiating hardware.
When the temperature of a hard disk rises by 10°C, its reliability becomes TWO TIMES LESS!
According to manufactures (for instance, their opinions can be found here and here), the normal recommended working temperature of a hard disk is 35-40°С. Once it rises by just 10°С – from 40°С to 50°С, the safety of its work becomes more than two times less!
That is why in the first place hard disk temperature monitoring is a way to prevent the loss of data.
To solve this problem, the PalickSoft company created this solution named HDD Temperature™ (Hard Disk Drive Temperature). This software is used to control the temperature of hard disks and prevent failures in their work due to overheating.
It stays invisible.
Hard Drive Temperature™ works invisibly in the background mode and bothers you only when there is an actual threat to your data and warns you about a dangerous overheating of your hard disk.
Critical data saving.
Even if you are not around when the critical temperature of your hard disk has been exceeded, Hard Drive Temperature™ will take care and save all your data! It will switch the system into the standby mode and turn off the computer giving the hard disk time to cool off and preventing it from breaking down. All your data, including unsaved Word and Excel documents, will be saved and restored after you turn on your computer!
Unique features!
Hard Drive Temperature™ has some unique features that you will not find in other similar software.
