Need help figuring out SMART temperature values

[Terriac]

Hey there,

I am trying to find out the worst HDD temperature on my WD.

Various tools show me such value (like Everest):

C2 Temperature 93 (worst)

But what does that mean?

I am pretty sure it's not Fahrenheit, since the worst temperature value is smaller than the current value.

I read on wikipedia that SMART uses "normalized values" to store data. How can I convert them to Celsius degrees?

Thanks !

P.S. apparently a free software called dTemp does show this, but I am unable to find and download it.

This is the data I am getting with most software (this was HDDLife Pro)

Somebody really should be answering this question ...

The trick is that the same value for the current temperature is displayed using two units of measure:

Temperature/Value = 107 (normalized values - an unit of measure created by the producer - Western Digital)
Temperature/RAW = 28 (Celsius degrees, but displayed as hexadecimal numbers - certain diagnostic software make it easier for you and display the value directly as decimal number)

Which means that 107 = 28

Ah, and worst values are counted downwards from 100, in the sense that smaller values mean a higher temperature.

Once you figure that out, it's very simple to convert the normalized value for the worst temperature to Celsius temperature degrees:

Decimal (28) + (107 - 93) = 40 + 14 = 54 degrees Celsius

This works for WD drives, not sure about other producers.

By the way, I don't take credit for this, it was explained to me on another forum, by an user who contacted WD.
