Hot days....

In this time of the year, it is particularly hot. But it is not good for the computer systems as they will be more prone to failure.

To monitor hard drive temperature in Ubuntu, simply follow as below:

$sudo apt-get install hddtemp.

To check the temperature of the hard drive, as mine is a SATA hard drive

sudo hddtemp /dev/sda

the temperature will be shown in the terminal.


- wong chee tat :)
