Unfortunately, there are no industry standards regarding the ports/pins used to access this information, and each hard drive manufacturer seems to do it their own way. On first blush, this would appear to be a good thing an internal sensor is closer to the drive’s mechanics and is likely to be more accurate regarding drive state. They’ve gone from an external sensor that attached to the outside surface of the drive to a connector that seems to use the drive’s internal sensors. Such is the case with the Late 2009 iMacs.Īs we were getting information together for the new iMac instructional videos, we came across a little tidbit that, apparently, hasn’t been covered anywhere else: Apple has switched the iMac’s method of hard drive temperature sensing. Sometimes even the best educated guesses can be thrown for a loop when an unforeseen “X-Factor” comes into play.
