Seagate 2,5 ST1000LM049 High temperature

[kambei.7s]

Recently bought that 2,5 HDD for laptop, work fine, no weird noises but I worrying about temperature range, if laptop idling it can be 42-46, If I starting to install something, indexing sound files in player it can easy raise just in 2-3 minutes to 50-52. As I know know high temperature always reduces HDD lifetime, OS start lagging, slow responds from HDD when it's overheating, nothing of these spotted. Manufacturer said Operating temperature: 0° to 60°
Seagate does not recommend operating at sustained case temperatures above 60°C.
Operating at higher temperatures will reduce useful life of the product.
Maximum what SMART seems registered in that laptop is 57 (format maybe) but I never spotted such high values (maximum 53 under normal load/work). Laptop clean, no dust in coolers or in case. Is true what laptop HDD's more tolerated to high temperatures than desktop one? It will be fine? or I need to replace it?

out of curiosity what laptop do you have? SO anyway yes that is warm, have you tried a laptop cooling platform?

Lenovo-G500
Core i3 3110/Radeon 8570M
CPU Around 48-50 under loads, Radeon near 55, PCH (Chipset) mostly under 65

have you tried a laptop cooling platform?

does not have one.

okay the bad news is there is really only one thing you can do to help cool the harddrive in your laptop.
The good news is your laptop is set up really good for the solution .
You need to buy a laptop cooling pad >>> https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_11?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=laptop+cooling+pad&sprefix=laptop+cool,aps,159&crid=OXY61UTIEZH7

And because your model of laptop has really good placement for the underside vents the laptop cooler will really be able to help.

see video to see placement of vents.

Make sure the laptop cooler you pick has good line up for the center vent on your laptop for best results.
here is one that will work for a little over $10 >> https://www.amazon.com/AICHESON-Coo...1527850920&sr=1-9&keywords=laptop+cooling+pad

Good luck!

1. 50-52C is nothing to be concerned about on laptop HD.

2. Be careful w/ laptop coolers... I used a cooler master NotePal... 1st boot and it burned out the USB ports.

3. Many do absolutely noting at all and is you manage 2C, you have found the best one.

4. Sustained means hours and hours... stay below 60 and you should experience no ill effects. I have a 17" model w/ high en GFX card, and CPU, both overclocked and when using a game or AutoCAD the SSHD will sometimes reach 54C for a few minutes hovering between 51 and 54C ... it's 7 years old.

5. If concerned about the tempos... suggest two things...a) Blow the dust, cat hair and cookie crumbs out of the heat sinhs, b) investigate whether there's a fan control option to push fans to max regardless of load readings. My previous lappie had a hot-key combo.

Thanks for reply's. I also didnt like such devices what uses USB to obtain power. Maybe I will find solution with independence power supply, or make it by my self

Yes, that what I want to ask, is where profit of these device, 2C?, but maybe it allow HDD to stay in safe temperature range...
That HDD have 128 Mb cache, maybe that reason of heating? you SSHD have onboard cache too and it's heating much.

You might be able to use a leftover USB phone charger to provide independent power.

The drives in most laptops tend to run warm due to the limited airflow in the chassis. If you want to reduce the temperature, then replace the hard drive with an SSD. Since it has no moving parts, an SSD will be cooler (and a lot faster) than even an SSHD.

I use this one >>> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J0NZYOK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And on my hard drives on both laptops in my System Specs see an average temperature reduction between 8-12 cels and my CPU about 8 cels and my GPU about 8-10 cels. The biggest improvements come from the laptops that have well placed vents and yours does just as mine do! Do it and see, your laptop will love you for it! I also have another I7 U CPU Asus that has a cheaper cooler that sees nice results as well! The only time I have NOT seen laptop coolers not make a worthwhile difference is when the laptop has poorly placed vents or at least not suitable for directing laptop coolers air in the area it is needed.

Also I have used one on every laptop I have owned in the last 10+ years and have never ever had one burn out a USB port and I have used really good ones and really cheap ones and never had a USB port fail from it.

ALSO worth a mention is I use SSD's and M.2 SSD's and they hover in the mid 40 cels area at around 26.66 cels ambient temperatures with the laptop cooler they run around 32 cels same ambient temperatures.
