Hi,
I purchased a 2TB seagate external hdd to use with my DVR, because it's a new hard drive and I don't want to loose any files stored on it I thought I would test its working properly, online someone said to do a full format and while its formatting check it's S.M.AR.T values, the problem is the drive is external so should stau relatively cool but it still seems to be getting too hot, its temperature has risen to 58c during the formatting and that gave a warning with the monitoring software. A
lso in the smart values it states current BE airflow temperature 46, worst = 42, threshold = 45, C2 Temperature, current = 54, worst =60, Threshold = 0.
Does this indicate this HDD has a problem or is this normal?
Thanks
