Can anyone recommend a good hard drive temperature monitor app for
Windows? I need one that will display temps for 4 drives
simultaneously.

This one is great, shows temp on all drives in the taskbar, a bit old but it works.



DTEMP or HDTEMP when installed.

You could use speedfan for this and also configure it to control your fans.

The drives are on a 3ware RAID card, turns out that none of these apps
can see them. Looks like I'm out of luck.

I seem to recall an older promise raid card I had contained a utility just
like that with the cd that it came with. Maybe that sort of thing would
read another card ? Not a lot of help I know but I did use that one once
to do it just to see if it worked. Maybe you could look/search for it but
I cannot be much help with name, version etc etc .Sorry. Good luck

3Ware are supposed to have very good tech support and are linux friendly.
Try asking them if they have a tool, or will consider adding that to a tool
they already have for other status of the array...

Good idea, I'll do that.

This kind of setup I have used before, but don't remember the software that I used, but it has to be
set for SCSI.


Don't forget that these add on cards do have firmware updates, my Promise one had a few updates, and
a Driver to support SMART

My system with a onboard iTE IDE RAID controller works ok, and the drives IDE, are listed as SCSI
ones, under System/Hardware.


But I did have some SMART software that did not work with my Promise card.

I've found a package called Smartmontools which is said to be able to
access SMART data through a 3ware card so I'll give it a try tomorrow.

I'll give the Promise.utility a go if Smartmontools doesn't do the
job.
