    Hdd temp monitor

    I am having a hard time locating and displaying my temperature. I have tried an hdd temp command hoping to find it but I have had no luck yet. Any suggestions, I am not the best at Linux.

    Open a terminal, what is the output of:

    Code:
    sudo hddtemp -D /dev/sda
    It should look something like:

    tgalati4@Mint14-Extensa ~ $ sudo hddtemp -D /dev/sda
    [sudo] password for tgalati4:

    ================= hddtemp 0.3-beta15 ==================
    Model: WDC WD1600BEVS-22RST0

    field(1) = 1
    field(3) = 155
    field(4) = 217
    field(5) = 0
    field(7) = 0
    field(9) = 80
    field(10) = 0
    field(11) = 0
    field(12) = 237
    field(192) = 32
    field(193) = 11
    field(194) = 40
    field(196) = 0
    field(197) = 0
    field(198) = 0
    field(199) = 0
    field(200) = 0

    If one of the field value seems to match the temperature, be sure to read
    the hddtemp man page before sending a report (section REPORT). Thanks.

    In this case my disk temperature is 40C and that is what shows in my instrument panel.

    It went up 1C:

    tgalati4@Mint14-Extensa ~ $ sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep 194
    194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 106 086 000 Old_age Always - 41

    Have you tried psensor? It'll give you a GUI where you can monitor the temperature of all the sensors a available to it (e.g. Hard drive, cpu, graphics card). It can also draw graphs of temp against time.
