RNS-510 HDD tempStatus

[xc17ed]

Got into the setup menu last night of my RNS-510 that I just bought hardware version C. I noticed that under HDD Status, the tempStatus Degraded I'm wondering is this something I should be worried about? What does it actually mean?

Thanks

The RNS-510 uses a hard drive, and it sounds like the drive is using S.M.A.R.T. to report that it is getting a bit toasty. What's the ambient temperature down under right now?

Temps are around 26-30 these days. I'll have to check and see if its complaining about the temp after just starting up. I left as much space as I could behind the unit to allow decent airflow.

The hard drives in them are industrial grade hard drives. They can take a beating.
