I am trying to figure out the temperature of my dedicated server's harddisk. For this purpose, I've downloaded HDTune to monitor the S.M.A.R.T. Status.
The problem is that the current temperature for "C2 Temperature" is 73 degrees celsius, but the little thermometer on top of the window shows 27 degrees celsius. See this screenshot:

Another monitoring software (Anfibia Reactor) shows similar behavior: Disk temperature is around 30 degrees, but it says that the disk is too hot.
So, is my disk hot or not? Since this is a dedicated server, I can't just open the case and put a thumb on it.
On linux, it's "sensors"...why does Windows have to hide this type of thing? – marcusw – 2010-03-20T12:49:06.147

I know, I was just kidding. – Adrian Grigore – 2010-03-20T13:23:01.303
It sure looks like somebody is confusing celsius and that other thing :) – Dan Rosenstark – 2010-03-20T13:58:26.040
