I would like to see more than 2 random drive temperatures

I recall when setting up FreeNAS way back in the day before it was sold, I could see each drives temperature right next to it. In the current GUI, I don't see that, just a minumum and a maximum temperature, which is is so dumb it sounds like a sales guy wrote it. I started looking in the forum and came across an old thread from 9 years ago where apparently this was a hot topic and it was made clear that they were ignoring the community about this sort of thing. Given the current state is an iota better than that thread, I'm curious if this is still a design feature, or if there is some way to see all the drive temps.

I'm setting up TrueNAS for the first time, and haven't touched FreeNAS in ~13 years (I aborted the project back then). I'm trying to see if my drives are running warm, which they shouldn't be, but seem to be. Min temp is 31 C and max temp is 44 C. According to this post, you want to keep your drives 30 - 35 C if you can, but 44 is too high.

"Yep, real operating temp range is 20 to 40 °C and ideally you want to stay between 30 and 35 °C ;)"

The GUI has lots of fancy charts and graphs and info, is it really missing crucial information like drive temp? Is there a way I can get drive temps in the dashboard?

You posted in Scale section of the site so assume you are meaning Scale. Reporting -> Disks shows drive temperature over time. Not a min and max though that is there also. This is exactly what you would want to see when it goes hotter, colder, etc. , current temp only tells you very little IMHO.

For me, I take the max temperature from the vendor specs, and for my Exos, that is 60C. Cooler is certainly better though and I wouldn't want to run constantly near 60C, or even 50C. Mine average 36C with a peak of 40C on any given day. This is with ambient 77 degree temperature, cooler ambient would mean cooler drives in my case.
