How to read HardDisk Temperature?
use VMI and MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData
to get VendorSpecific
byte array and 115 byte number is temperature. Why 115? More here.
Code partly generated with VMI Code Creator
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\WMI",
"SELECT * FROM MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData");
foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in searcher.Get())
{
if (queryObj["VendorSpecific"] != null)
{
byte[] arrVendorSpecific = (byte[])(queryObj["VendorSpecific"]);
string temp = arrVendorSpecific[115].ToString();
}
}
Here is code snippet from this article Hope it helps
//S.M.A.R.T. Temperature attribute
const byte TEMPERATURE_ATTRIBUTE = 194;
public List<byte> GetDriveTemp()
{
var retval = new List<byte>();
try
{
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\WMI", "SELECT * FROM MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData");
//loop through all the hard disks
foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in searcher.Get())
{
byte[] arrVendorSpecific = (byte[])queryObj.GetPropertyValue("VendorSpecific");
//Find the temperature attribute
int tempIndex = Array.IndexOf(arrVendorSpecific, TEMPERATURE_ATTRIBUTE);
retval.Add(arrVendorSpecific[tempIndex + 5]);
}
}
catch (ManagementException err)
{
Console.WriteLine("An error occurred while querying for WMI data: " + err.Message);
}
return retval;
}
