The temperature I am getting from two new hard drives do not make sense.  Immediately after starting a server that has been off all night, I get '176' as my drive temperature, then it climbs to the low 180s.  Even if it is in fahrenheit, that's over 77 degrees celsius.  Output for one of the drives is below.  Am I reading something incorrectly?  esxcli storage core device smart get -d t10.ATA_____TOSHIBA_DT01ACA300_________________________________16SUPMJKS Parameter                     Value  Threshold  Worst ----------------------------  -----  ---------  ----- Health Status                 OK     N/A        N/A Media Wearout Indicator       N/A    N/A        N/A Write Error Count             N/A    N/A        N/A Read Error Count              100    16         100 Power-on Hours                100    0          100 Power Cycle Count             100    0          100 Reallocated Sector Count      100    5          100 Raw Read Error Rate           100    16         100 Drive Temperature             176    0          176 Driver Rated Max Temperature  N/A    N/A        N/A Write Sectors TOT Count       200    0          200 Read Sectors TOT Count        N/A    N/A        N/A Initial Bad Block Count       N/A    N/A        N/A The drives are cool to the touch even when the Drive Temperatures is in the 180s.  I'm not too worried, but I'd sure like to understand it.
