no tempeture on a ssd

[john3850]

Do all ssd have a tempeture sensor.
Got a crucial m4 that doesn read the temp in hdtune and crystal disk info.

 

[hclarkjr]

there are no moving parts so there is no need for temp sensor

There are no moving parts in memory either - but temperature can be an issue.

 

[john3850]

Because they are drives they use many of the attribute values of S.M.A.R.T
No moving parts but they care about the power on hours and count etc.
The two Adata ssd I got measure the tempture.

So there isn't any temp in the smart output for the M4 ?

 

[Phynaz]

No temp from an Intel G2 either.

Did a quick check - Intel X25-M has an operating temperature of 0-70 degrees Celsius. Imagine other SSD's fall in that range.

The new server-grade Intel SSDs use several times more power than their mainstream SSDs. Those might have temp sensors.

Not all SSDs are going to have temp sensors. And, oddly enough quite a few of them without temp sensors still report some (crazy) value in their SMART data. I've seen people asking for RMAs or clarifications because some SMART utility told them that their SSD was operating at a toasty 156C. I told them to use the old "touch test". Touch the SSD. If it's 156C, they'll smell burning flesh.

Touché!

BTW - DRAM uses heat spreader covers - SSDs have a metal housing that does the same thing in effect.

81 degrees while surfing and such with the pc on the floor is 2 degrees below ambient 4' off the floor.

My M3s don't have one either.

I've had 5 brands and none have had an accurate (if any) temp reading.

I didn't know any actually had a temp probe.

I remember seeing/reading about some ddr3 with built in temp sensors
or maybe i'm thinking of the upcoming ddr4 ....

 

[john3850]

That new low voltage DD3 is cool

oh man ...the metal can on an SSD isn't in direct contact with the IC's inside. Heat transfer on an SSD in a metal can is IC->air->case...not very efficient

That's because end users can't overclock and overvolt the NAND inside SSDs. ()

But, you just know someone, somewhere is trying ;-P
