clydemax Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I am navigating the CorsairLINK2 v. 2.3.4816 software for the first time. There are two temp indicator icons for my 256GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD, one indicates "Samsung Drive Difference from 100" 71.0c the other indicates "Samsung Drive Difference from 100" 0.0c A dumb question, I'm sure but what does this mean "Difference from 100" and why not just indicate the actual temp of the drive.

Toasted Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Its probably a bug in the sw. Try something like CrystalDiskInfo and see if it correctly displays the temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwing Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 i have the same with my 840 pro........difference from 100 means if it shows 80 the drive is at 20 degrees LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 It is a S.M.A.R.T. attribute: Temperature Difference from 100 Better: Higher Raw Value Value is equal to (100-temp. °C), allowing manufacturer to set a minimum threshold which corresponds to a maximum temperature. Seagate and Samsung use this attribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSidewinder Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Speed nailed it, that's the S.M.A.R.T. attribute for temp. Odd way of doing it, but all SSD mfgrs seem to do something similar. And note that text is for Centigrade. If you run Fahrenheit display, the value is flat wrong. 212 minus what I saw was 50 degrees F, obviously wrong as room temp is 72.

clydemax Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Thanks guys. yea, I figured my drive temp was 29c. Just wasn't clear on why it was indicated that way. Thanks Speed for clearing that up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
