Hi all,
I have now 2 WD Red 8TB disk in my server. The disk temperatures are around 40 degrees which I find high compared to the previously used disks.
Does this match with your experiences with WD Red 8TB disks compared to smaller WD Reds?
I know the temperatures are far below 60 degrees as specified by WD but still.
Details:
One disk is running constantly at 42 degrees, the other at 38 while idle. The temperatures go up as high as 46 degrees during disk activity. The cooler disk is the one which has 2 unoccupied slots to one side which probably explains the difference between these two.
I had 2 WD Red 3TB disks for a long time and 2 WD Red 6TB disk now for several weeks in the very same server. All of those were running at under 30 degrees even when all four slots in my server were occupied and during disk activity.
The 8TB disk are not 7200 rpm, are they? This would also explain higher temperatures.
My server is running in my basement, no heating there except by the server and some switches, routers and such stuff. Temperatures are not above typical room temperatures here but they slightly change with the seasons. Throughout the year the disk temperatures increased during summer and decreased again in winter.
