I have the 323 with 2x1.5tb seagate drives

When I status the unit it shows temperature of approx 115-120

I just noticed the specs for temperature are as follows

Operating Temperature • 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C)

how bad is this going to be if I run above the spec temperature?

As well the warning email defaults to 140  should I change that temperature

Please don't confuse internal temperature (which is what is displayed in the status screen) with ambient temperature (the temperature of the room the unit is operating in).

I doubt that you are operating above the operating spec - I suspect 104°F would probably be more than you could bear.

What you perhaps need to do is check with Seagate to see what is the temperature spec for the drives, that more equates to the internal temperature of the unit (since that is where the drives will be operating) and I suspect you'll find it to be significantly higher.

Operating Temperature (°C) 0 to 60 for the seagate drives 1.5gb so I am in the operating range.
But there isn't a range for the DNS 323?  it doesnt matter if the internal temperature is?

[fordem]

As long as the unit is operated in a room where the ambient temperature meets the published specification, the electronics and the fan should automatically manage the internal temperatures - the fan will turn on, off, and change speed as required.

As the room temperature rises, so will the internal temperature, and it is conceivable that at some point, if the room gets hot enough, the internal temperature will rise to a point that becomes dangerous - and this is likely to be more of an issue for the disks that the unit's internal electronics.

If it will make you feel any better, set the temperature warning at or a few degrees below the upper limit for your disks and it will shut down when the threshold is reached.

I've been running my DNS-323 with this at the default for over two years, 24/7 operation, in a room where the ambient is always 80+, idle temps run at around 110, operating temps approach 120 - I have yet to lose a disk.

ok good to know
what is 60 degrees celcius in farenhit?

This is a good place to start

Go here:  http://www.google.com/

Then type in "60c in f"

Then hit Enter/Return

I can't help it, I gotta laugh - bripa - click the line in my post above, I know it's not immediately obvious, but it is a hyperlink, and guess where it takes you....

Lots of funny people here.

60C = 140F or the same temperature cements
