Re: [PLUG] Multiple hard drive temps in conky via hddtemp

[Walt Mankowski via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

I unfortunately don't know the answer do your question, but I do have
a few questions about what you're doing:

* When these 3 drives were partitions, where they on the same physical
  drive? If so, how did they end up having different temperatures?

* Is the 1 TB drive a spinning disk, and the other 2 are SSDs?

* Since 1 drive is Linux and 1 is Windows, won't one of them be idle
  the majority of the time?

* I confess I've never even considered monitoring the temperature of
  my drives. Is that a warning sign of a potential problem? If they
  get too hot, what do you do about it?
