The current device temperature is: 24C (75F) degrees

First and foremost, the above information should not be used to estimate remaining life in a device. The

attributes and thresholds are all vendor/drive specific, and only the manufacturer has the technical expertise to

interpret this information. It is our desire to make it available to you, so you may discuss this information with your

supplier in event of a drive problem.

In the event of a S.M.A.R.T. alert, you should immediately back up your data. After that, contact your vendor to

request an RMA and tell them you have a S.M.A.R.T. alert. If your disk is under warranty, they will work out the details

of a drive replacement.

After your replacement is on the way and after you have backed up your data, you may then contact your drive

vendor's technical support and ask them to interpret the above information in order to determine either root cause, or

expected life. Depending on many factors, they may or may not offer to provide this analysis. (Primarily, they will not

bother to do it unless you are a really good customer of theirs, and/or you are having multiple drive failures).

You should also be aware that you may have a false error. This is where the S.M.A.R.T. firmware in your drive

initiates an alert, but the drive is fine. A common cause of false errors is if your disk drive has had power supply

problems, or is exposed to radical temperature changes in a short amount of time. Before shipping your drive off for

replacement, you should contact your supplier and ask them to interpret the data to determine if a false error is likely.

(It has been our experience that vendors would rather just replace the drive rather than perform this analysis.)

Note that the last line contains the hard disk temperature. We can currently only report temperature for most of

Maxtor's ATA and SATA disk drives, and some WD disks. Support is added for other disks as we obtain the
