Is 42C even hot for an NVMe? I recently started collecting SMART stats for all the drives in my home fleet and that seems about typical for the drives I have when idle-ish. I've also seen it suggested that keeping NVMe drives too cool is bad for performance.

But more importantly, this is a reminder TO HAVE BACKUPS. Many of my friends love their Synology systems. I am thrifty so I use urbackup and it has saved my butt a few times.

Yeah. I have a Synology and backed up everything except... this PC. It was just the "gaming PC" and then I realized that I would rather not re-install everything and try to recover the drive. It's set up on the Synology now.

I have this with movies. I don't back them up because of the storage requirements. Everything is ripped from BluRays that I own, but... can I be bothered re-doing them?

If you'd already built out the automated "Some stranger on the Internet ripped it for me" workflow you could say that usenet is your backup.

A buddy just gifted me a decomm'd Synology RS2416+ w/ expansion unit full of drives that could, just, back up what I have... and I am definitely not going to do that.

Ouch. I'm am grateful to have picked up the "When in doubt, back it up anyways" habit before getting burned.

I don't think 42C is at all hot for an NVME SSD. But I don't recall the suggested limit offhand.

> TO HAVE BACKUPS

Agree. I admire the diagnostic skills and ingenuity to recover the data, but was thinking I would just restore from backup in the same situation. But I'm weird. I have a "home lab" file server with a true server H/W that my desktop and laptop back up to as well as a remote server that the local one backs up to.

Generally safe operating temperatures are between 0 and 70 degrees celsiuis.

e.g. Samsung https://download.semiconductor.samsung.com/resources/data-sh...

For some reason the Max field in the picture says 42.4°, but if you look at the center target you'll see that it says 88.7°. I missed it too at first and was equally confused.

That would be bad but I read that as 38.7c.

That says 38.7C I think. I have a standalone FLIR which plugs into an iphone, and the way it works is: min/max/avg=min/max/avg of current frame, and the temperature written in the center is temperature at the crosshair. Hence the crosshair temperature cannot be > max.

Ah yeah. I also misread it as 88,7, but looked after your commend and lo and behold, it says 38,7 :)
