hddtemp (reads hard disk S.M.A.R.T. info and reports temperature) hddtemp is a small and daemonizable utility designed to read the S.M.A.R.T. information from the given hard disk and report the temperature of the disk. Different hard disk manufacturers use different raw values in their S.M.A.R.T. data and the hddtemp.db file helps to map raw values to actual temperatures. http://www.guzu.net/linux/hddtemp.php https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/hddtemp/ The hddtemp.db file does not include more recent hard disks as the project does not appear to be maintained anymore. To resolve this, simply add your disk to the file manually. Run hddtemp on your drive to get the expected string and use the other entries in the file as templates to create a new one. Note that only a few hard disks actually differ from the 194C value so you can bet your disk will probably use that value too, but I recommend using older drives from the same manufacturer that are in the file as a guideline.
