Check your Hard Disk temperature using Hard Drive Monitor

Hard Drive Monitor is a nifty little program used to check and monitor the temperature of your Hard Disk. Hard Drives may get heated to extreme levels sometimes and can result in disk failure or loss of your valuable data. In Desktops hard disk does not overheat that much but in laptops it is very common for a hard drive to get overheat to a greater extent. This is because of the compact nature of the laptop where all components sit side by side reducing the airflow between them. So to overcome this problem you should always monitor and check your hard disk temperature regularly especially in summer and take necessary steps to cool it down to safe level. One way to keep the temperature down is to use a cooling pad for the laptop.
