acceptable temperature for a notebook hd

Hi,
My notebook suddenly shut down with a loud boof sound, but resurrected
itself. Now I try to understand what happened and was told that, maybe,
the hard disk was to hot and shut itself down.

The ventilator is running all the time so this might be a reason.

I installed SIW and found that the hard disk runs on between 26 and 33°
C (or 78 and 90° F). What is an acceptable upper temperature limit for a
safe running of a notebook hd ?

Thanks,
ft

I've seen them go higher - but one would need the manufacturer/model of your
hard drive to give you a specific answer (or you could look it up on your
own if you have the hard disk drive manufacturer/model.)

I have a 5400 RPM drive that runs 103-105° F 40-41° C
I had a faster drive but it seemed to run hotter per the human sensor
(my leg). I put the slower original drive back in.

I used SIW also to view the temps. So 78-90 sounds good to me.
 
The CPU temp is the ones that you have to worry about.
My cores run at 35C and 36C
My HDD runs at 43C
Mine is a desktop.
 
You have SIW.

Go back to the Temp Sensors, and you will have: Intel Pentium E2160(in my
case),whichever one you are using, and Core temps.

Whether you have single core, or dual core, you will have one or 2 temps.

In mine, that is just above the HDD temp.

Thanks all for the 2 hints.
I installed SIW and Speedfan.
The HD temperature of 35° seems ok, according to SpeedFan.

However I don't find the info on the CPU temperature.
SIW - I downloaded the most recent version - provides the following info
in the CPU info section

Property Value
Number of CPU(s) One Physical Processor / One Core / One Logical
Processor / 32 bits
CPU Full Name Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.60GHz
Vendor GenuineIntel
CPU Name Intel Celeron
CPU Code Name Northwood
Platform Name Socket 478 mPGA
Revision D1
Technology 0.13 µm
Instructions MMX, SSE, SSE2
Original Clock 2600 MHz
Original System Clock 100 MHz
Original Multiplier 26.0
CPU Clock 2598 MHz
System Clock 99.9 MHz
FSB 399.7 MHz
L1 Data Cache 8 KBytes
L1 Trace Cache 12 Kuops
L2 Cache 128 KBytes

I don't see any info on temperature. Do I look at the right place ?

When you open SIW, you have the list on the left: info about what you select
on the right pane.

Go down to SENSOR; it looks like a thermometer.
Then click on it.

Trying to reduce the noise of the fan I looked in SpeedFan - Configure -
fans. SF demands to select a fan to change its settings. But the field
is empty. There is no fan to click on.
So - ?

You would have to check with the specific manufacturer, but it is
considerably higher than what you are reading; probably in the order of
50 degrees C or more.
