[opensuse] Re: A single 80mm exhaust fan can make an 18 deg. difference in drive temps
Tony Alfrey a écrit :
operating temperature for a drive (about 45 C). If your $4 fan keeps the drive temp at 30 C, the Google data indicates that it may cut drive lifetime in half, roughly equivalent to the failure rate at 50 C.
precisely. I don't know for sure about hard drives, but modern processors have temp security. I have a laptop that lose a fan, and when starting, as soon as temp goes too high, the computer stops himself. I just now copy 400Gb from an old 500Gb disk to a new 1Tb one, the two of them are USB ans nearly no ventilation is available. There are very hot nothing about this mean failure. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I will be that CPUs follow the more conventional temperature-dependent failure modes for electronic components. -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd Rather Be Sailing" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
