Hi
I managed to replace the disk with a kingston SSD drive.
Is this normal temperature?
hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: KINGSTON SV200S364G: 73°C

Hi Asad,
Glad to see you are still around.
Do not trust the information from hddtemp regarding SSD devices.
Use smartctl from smartmontools instead.
You will probably not get a temperature reading (I don't think SSDs even have a sensor, no need for it) , but there is loads more there to investigate.
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install smartmontools
There is also smartd in that package if you are a bit paranoid like me...
Cheers!
