Tutorial[ Seagate Disks ]: Optimize Life Span/Power Managment

[Neo2018]

If you look into my current temperature:
' Current Temperature (C): 26'

You will notice that its **a lot lower** than in your disks, ( your luck is that you own Seagate disks...they support higher temps than others.. maxout at 70C, for the case.. )
If I recall it correctly your higher temp are around 50C, that starts to be uncomfortable high..

Mines maxout at around ~30C ..

Hello tuxd3v,
I also thought about why the temperature is so high. My second hard drive (4TB) also has a high temperature about 32c in sleep mode, in operation I try to cool it with fan always. (no comparison to your 26c). what does it relate to?????????

I have:

Code:

# for blockid in {a..d};do smartctl --attributes /dev/sd${blockid}|grep -E "^ 12|^193"; done
12 Power_Cycle_Count       0x0032   100   100   020    Old_age   Always       -       4
193 Load_Cycle_Count        0x0032   100   100   000    Old_age   Always       -       1898
12 Power_Cycle_Count       0x0032   100   100   020    Old_age   Always       -       4
193 Load_Cycle_Count        0x0032   100   100   000    Old_age   Always       -       1874
12 Power_Cycle_Count       0x0032   100   100   020    Old_age   Always       -       4
193 Load_Cycle_Count        0x0032   100   100   000    Old_age   Always       -       1852

My Load/Unload numbers are like new ( ~ 1800 cycles.. )  

My Load/Unload numbers is too high? ( ~ 5400 cycles.. )   ???

Code:

root@p-ubuntu:~/openSeaChest/Make/gcc/openseachest_exes# for blockid in {a..d};do smartctl --attributes /dev/sd${blockid}|grep -E "^ 12|^193"; done
12 Power_Cycle_Count       0x0032   100   100   000    Old_age   Always       -       3124
12 Power_Cycle_Count       0x0032   094   094   000    Old_age   Always       -       5485

And then instead of using '/dev/sda' use '/dev/sg0'( probably this will not work, because even using '/dev/sda' Seagate uses underneath the SCSI protocol over ATA.. its only a shot.. ).

no difference, have already tried that post #9

Your problem, probably has to do with the fact that, your Sata Adapter, doesn't Acknowledge the power cycle you do when rebooting the Operating system..
Try configuring , then shutting down, remove the disk, wait a bit insert it again, and then boot and check..

If that doesn't work, you probably need a native Sata port around..  

most likely, I'm looking for a desktop PC. my last chance. I do not understand the problem, why developer (Seagate) can not make that easier.

Thank you for your help and patience with me!
