December 9, 201213 yr I ran the preclear script but stopped it due to disk temperature (52+ C), I had to make changes to my external enclosure to keep the drives cooler. I am re-running the preclear script, but it is not reporting drive temperature now? Does it only report it when it gets above a certain temperature? I would really like to verify that I am not cooking my disk right now if possible.

I would really like to verify that I am not cooking my disk right now if possible. I think it reports it is the disk reports it, but only makes it bold if above 40C To see the disk temperature, type smartctl -a /dev/sdX look in the parameter listing at the "RAW" value for that parameter. It is one of the few that is meaningful to anyone but the manufacturer.
December 9, 201213 yr Author I ran the smartclt -a /dev/sdq for my drive, but the on-screen output does not contain the temperature. Is there somewhere else i am supposed to look after running this command?

December 9, 201213 yr There are known problems with these drives. See here for firmware update: http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/207957en?language=en_US
December 9, 201213 yr Author I have 4 of these drives for years, working just fine for me. Is this a critical firmware update, or should I leave what is working alone? I have done a preclear on 2 of these drives, what would my process be now to flash the firmware (windows app or boot iso?), then do I need to preclear again or will it still be precleared?
