Speedfan HD temp readout with RAID 0 ???
Hello,
Just a few weeks ago I bought the configuration listed below. All is working fine and quiet but I have a problem with reading temps from the two Samsungs HD's in RAID 0. Speedfan just does not detect them. I also have a barracuda that speedfan DOES see.
What could be the problem? Is it possible to read out temps and SMART info out of a RAID setup?
according to this link http://www.almico.com/foruminfo.php?id=2928659 the samsungs should be able to submit info to the sofware
Regards,
Jochem

I used speedfan for a while, and it reported my western digital temp fine. then I added a seagate drive, and now when it starts up, it shows that it detected both drives, and there's smart info for both drives...but only one temp shows up. On the configure tab, there's only an HD0 temp.
I also installed Dtemp, and I've only ever gotten one temp out of that. I can't find anywhere that it seems to know there's more than 1 drive.

ironically, if you have a halfway decent RAID controller, i don't think there should be any way you'd be able to use an ordinary prog like speedfan to get SMART info off the individual drives. think about it.
check manuals etc - if you're using software/onboard RAID there might still be a way, and if you're using a decent PCI controller there should be a way of having the controller get the temps etc for you.

I also fell into this hole.
I have 6 sata drives running in my server, and i cannot read the temps of any of them
You have to buy a decent raid controller that supports it, my supermicro card was cheap at $160 so it doesnt support smart.
I have several temp probes tapes to the drives now, just to keep an eye on things
