I just installed DrivePool & Scanner with a new 5-bay enclosure. All new drives, two of them are running very hot. I'm wondering if there's a way to figure out why using DrivePool & Scanner.
The enclosure is an ORICO 3559SUSJ3. It's filled with five 3TB WD Red drives. It's connected to a Windows 8.1 PC with DrivePool, Scanner and SnapRAID.
The top two drives where installed a week ago. I created my drive pool at that time. There's about 600GB of data on both.
I have received several warnings from Scanner about temperature. They are running about 115 deg F most of the time. Occasionally the temp drops to less than 110deg and the notificaiton is received that the hot drives have cooled off.
Three additional drives were added to the enclosure two days ago and immediately added to the pool. They are not running hot. 106, 100 and 95 degrees from middle of the enclosure to the bottom. As of yet, they are not yet holding much data.
The last of the three is not in the pool as it is being used as the parity disk using SnapRAID.
Watching DrivePool, there is no activity in the pool yet the temp is still as I describe above. It's as if the drives are going full blast even though nothing is in process.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can figure out what is going on here?
