Airflow Temperature

Post by aramrahgozar »

Hi again. This 2T Desktop Seagate has a parameter as Airflow Temperature. In HDD Sentinel is Ok but in HD Tune it failed. Is there any action I should do?
Thank you in advance.

Seeing the image suggests that previously the drive recorded a higher temperature value.
Alone the fact that once (which could be any time, even months before) the Airflow temperature value was a bit high, it does not mean that the hard disk is "failed" and replacement required. This is likely a false assumption, this is why Hard Disk Sentinel does not display that.

Generally it is not rare that a different tool (which may not properly support a disk drive or not able to interpret/identify the situation correctly) may display different result than expected, as described at

Personally (if I'm not sure) I'd perform some testing as suggested at:

as the test functions designed exactly to reveal possible problems - or confirm that the hard disk is generally working correctly, with no issues.
