August 2, 201510 yr I never use/own enterprise HDD before. Nevertheless, I saw promotion on local shop I bought ES 4TB (ST4000NM0033). Just installed yesterday, speed is great, preclear shows no bad sector. But temperature is what bothering me. for comparison WD green 2TB 30-36C WD red 3TB 29-37C seagate ES 30-50C I have 12CM fan blowing the HDD. (coolermaster 4 in 3 case) even WD black on my main PC hardly see 41C during stress test. Is it normal for enterprise HDD or ? Thank you.
August 2, 201510 yr Yep, enterprise drives are set up for performance. I have some Toshiba MC04 5TB Enterprise drives that I don't use, because they run very hot and are very, very noisy. WD's RE line run warm too, which would be the equivalent to your Seagate ES.
August 3, 201510 yr Author 4x12cm + 1x20cm fans are louder, so noise isn't complain for me. so 50C is normal during stress test/preclear ? considering max operating system is 60C. (even WD red have max at 70C) Will SMART shows warning/failure if it reach 55C like WD green ? I should just get another RED
August 4, 201510 yr I changed the max temp to suit my drives...I think the defaults are set a little low.
