New drive has permanent "temperature equalization"


Question

Posted

I got a new Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB.  It does not scan, instead it says "Waiting to scan (temperature equalization)".  It has been in that state for hours.

 

When I look at SMART, it shows:

 

- It is running at 89F.  

- Life Maximum:104F (Operating limit 158F, Physical damage limit: 158F)

- Life Minimum: 104F (Operating limit 32F, Physical damage limit: 32F)

 

- All the other attributes have a green check mark.

 

I submitted to BitFlock.com for analysis (ID: 7DNPDPHZ)

 

By reading other threads I also found the "suggested solution" to set the "Override maximum temperature", which I set to 155F.  No change observed, it still won't scan.

 

Not sure what else to try.  Any help will be welcome.

what are the temps of the other drives - if its higher than them it will prevent it running - as its an option to not over stress drives - so if another drive (subject to the temp differnence threshold) is cooler it will swap to that - and (speculating) wait for the temp to drop on the drive in question - which might be the issue - or some combination so....

 

or turn off the option to enable 

 

or manually force it to scan

 

or just ignore and it will do it eventually :)
