As far as hard drives are concerned, SSDs are a highly sought-after choice due to their operating system storage features and versatility in read and write performance. This is also known for its safety and high speed when it comes to system startup. Among other things, the fact is that this type of disc also requires care.
Although these disks have an advantage in whether we have to perform defragmentation, unlike the obligatory HDD disks, these disks have temperature-related peculiarities. These when the degree increases so much, Heating can cause problems with the systemfor this we must always know and always verify this state of the disk.
What steps should I follow to check the temperature and status of my SSD?
To do this we must first look at the version of Windows, because starting with version 20226 an option has been added that allows us to see the temperature of this version Type (Windows + R) and copy «Winver» This will tell us the build number of the operating system. There is no such option in the previous version, we can also see the temperature status of the SSD disk anyway.
To see the temperature we will follow this route Start > Settings > System > Storage, in this window we have to enter the option «Manage Disks and Volumes». We select the SSD disk and click on properties, in this section we will see the temperature at the bottom that says «Cell Status».
Here we can also see the remaining life, which will give us an appreciation for ourselves The PC disk is damaged or has a lot of cell wear, and if the information is 100%, everything will be as it should be with the remaining life.
Why is your Sata SSD getting very hot and how to fix it?
already if This is a piece of hardware that reaches very high temperatures, but if exceeded, the cause can be determined. It could be that the process is running in the background, accelerating the temperature rise due to extra data processing, or it could be that malware is interacting in the background and producing this exception.
When installing a disk on the board, it may be Heatsink thermal pad not placed in correct position, In this case, the Pad and the heat sink must have good contact, otherwise the disk will heat up little by little. Placing it near the graphics card will also affect the drive, since with so much very high power, the heatsink will emit hotter air, which is counterproductive.
What programs does your Windows 10 computer use to monitor the temperature?
As for when When installing SSD hard drives in our computer, we must keep in mind that temperature is a fundamental factor, which is why we must know which programs can help us with this monitoring in any situation.We cannot ignore this because Lack of temperature control often affects system operation or even damage the hardware.
Now we will introduce you to two programs for doing this, one is CristalDiskInfo and the other is HWiNFO, now we will understand what they are and how these two programs work, let’s see.
Disc information
The program is designed to determine the status of hard drives, Search for its usage factors and analyze all its parts. In some cases, we found that the hard drive was working fine, but it was at risk of crashing, we didn’t know it. We can find the program on its official CristalDiskInfo page.
One of the biggest risks a hard drive suffers during its lifetime is overheating that can damage its internal system, directly affect its content. Through this program, we will get a variety of tools to view the entire system of our disk in detail.
HWiNFO
This is a very effective free program that It is designed to monitor the different components that make up a PC. It is one of the best options, it detects everything integrated into the system, it gives us the option to see everything graphically, it is very intuitive and powerful.
This will definitely help us to be able to analyze the hard drive and be able to control the process of lighting it up, its status and Of course monitor your temperature and condition.
