This has 3 benefits: it allows maintaining your hard drives in the ideal temperature range to have maximum longevity and avoid overheating; Because fans will slow down or stop when not needed. Feb 17, 2018  SSD Fan Control is a fan management utility that comes in handy if you're dealing with a noisy hard disk fan. With its help, you can adjust the fan speed of the hard disk and optical drive according to your needs. After installing the program on your Mac you will need to restart your computer. HDD Fan Control 2.5 is a third party application that provides additional functionality to OS X system and enjoys a popularity among Mac users. However, instead of installing it by dragging its icon to the Application folder, uninstalling HDD Fan Control 2.5 may need you to do more than a simple drag-and-drop to the Trash.

Control system fan speed by monitoring hard drive temperature

Project description

HDD Fan control is a command line tool to dynamically control fan speed according to hard drive temperature on Linux.

This has 3 benefits:

  • it allows maintaining your hard drives in the ideal temperature range to have maximum longevity and avoid overheating

Because fans will slow down or stop when not needed:

Hdd fan control 2.5 manual
  • it minimizes noise generated by the fans
  • it also minimizes power consumption at the same time

When is this useful?

HDD Fan control is useful when you have one or several hard drives with one or several fans close to them, and do not want to let the motherboard control the fan speed, because it does so either statically, or using a temperature sensor unrelated to the real drive temperature (either on the CPU or on some other place on the motherboard).

The ideal use case is for a NAS with several hard drives, a low power CPU (ie. ARM or Intel Atom) with passive cooling (no fans), and a chassis with fans close to the hard drive. It that case the CPU will generate less heat than the hard drives and it makes sense to control fan speed according to the main heat source.

Features

  • Can run in daemon mode
  • Can control several fans and/or several drives with a single invocation
  • Can automatically spin down drives after a customizable period of inactivity
  • Can adapt to different fan characteristics
  • Can be set to stop fans or run them at full speed at customizable temperatures
  • Can be configured to never set the fans below a certain speed (useful if the fans controlled by HDD Fan control are the only ones available in the chassis)
  • Can also optionally monitor CPU temperature, and control fan speed accordingly

Prerequisites

  • A Linux distribution
  • A least one SATA hard drive, that supports:
    • Temperature querying
    • Power state querying
  • A motherboard which:
    • exposes to the OS a PWM to control fan speed
    • exposes to the OS a sensor to query fan speed

Most motherboards and SATA drives fit these requirements.

Installation

HDD Fan control requires Python >= 3.4.

Distribution packages

Some Linux distributions have a hddfancontrol package available in their repository:

  • Arch Linux (AUR): hddfancontrol
  • Fedora: hddfancontrol (thanks to TC01)

From PyPI (with PIP)

  1. If you don't already have it, install pip for Python 3
  2. Install HDD Fan control: pip3 install hddfancontrol
  3. Install hdparm and hddtemp.On Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives: sudo apt-get install hdparm hddtemp.

From source

  1. If you don't already have it, install setuptools for Python 3
  2. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/desbma/hddfancontrol
  3. Install HDD Fan control: python3 setup.py install
  4. Install hdparm and hddtemp.On Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives: sudo apt-get install hdparm hddtemp.

To query fan characteristics, you may also need pwmconfig. On Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives, it is part of the fancontrol package, that you can install with sudo apt-get install fancontrol. HDD fancontrol and fancontrol are unrelated. The fancontrol daemon is not needed for HDD fan control to operate. If you use both fancontrol and HDD fancontrol, be careful not to make them control the same fans.

Configuration

A word of caution

The default parameters will run fans at 100% speed at temperatures > 50°C, and run them a 20% speed if < 30°C, which corresponds to the usual recommended drive operating temperature. If you are sure that there are no other components in your system that generate significant heat, if you have other fans to cool down youy system, or if you have a case optimized for passive cooling, you can set minimum speed to 0%, which will stop the fans if temperature is below the minimum threshold.

Be aware that a misconfiguration of this tool can lead to a failure to cool down your system properly which can damage components or reduce their lifetime.

Before using HDD Fan control unmonitored for long period of time, I recommend keeping a minimum fan speed for security, and checking that the temperature of your system stays in reasonable range as expected.

Fan configuration

To get the value for the --pwm, --pwm-start-value and --pwm-stop-value parameters, you can either:

  • Use the -t or --test parameter, which will run some tests and detect the values at which the fans start and stop. However you need to have previously identified the PWM file (the --pwm parameter)
  • use the pwmconfig tool.

3.5 Hdd Dimensions

Drive auto spin down

SATA drives can be configured to automatically spin down after a certain period of inactivity, which saves power. If your drives are configured to do so, you may notice that they do not spin down when HDD Fan control is running.This is due to the fact that HDD Fan control will query temperature at fixed interval, which the drive will consider an activity and reset the spin down timeout.To fix that, you can either:

  • Use a value for the -i/--interval parameter higher than your SATA spin down time (not recommended unless your spin down time is very low, ie < 2 min). In that case you do not need to use hddfancontrol's --spin-down-time switch, because the builtin SATA drive timeout (that you can set for example with hdparm -S XXX command) should take effect.
  • Use the --spin-down-time parameter that will monitor drive activity and spin it down if inactive, independantly of the SATA feature (recommended)

Keep in mind that spinning down and up a drive repeatedly wears it prematurly, so unless you are in a power constrained environement (ie. laptop), do not set the spin down time too low.

Reading temperature while a drive is in low power state will make it spin up, so HDD Fan control will stop querying temperature in that case, and wait for the drive (which will be cooling down in low power state anyway) to spin up.

Some HGST (previously Hitachi) drives support a special way of querying temperature that does not spin up drives, which HDD Fan control will detect and use, however it still prevents them from spinning down, so the above instructions still apply.

Command line usage

Run hddfancontrol -h to get full command line reference.

As an example, the command line below will instruct HDD Fan control to:

  • monitor temperature of drives /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
  • control fan speed using PWM 2 and 3 in /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/
  • start both fans using PWM value 200
  • consider the fans will stop with PWM value 75
  • never run the fans below 10% of their maximum speed
  • check temperature at least every minute
  • automatically spin down drives if they are inactive for 2 hours (7200 seconds)
  • run in daemon mode
  • log what is going on to /var/log/hddfancontrol.log

hddfancontrol -d /dev/sda /dev/sdb -p /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm2 /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm3 --pwm-start-value 200 200 --pwm-stop-value 75 75 --min-fan-speed-prct 10 -i 60 --spin-down-time 7200 -b -l /var/log/hddfancontrol.log

Systemd service

A systemd service file is provided to control the daemon easily.If you installed hddfancontrol from a distribution package, you likely already have it installed, otherwise you can install it from the sources of this repository with:

Then you need to edit the HDDFANCONTROL_ARGS variable in /etc/conf.d/hddfancontrol to set the parameters (drives, temperature range...).

You can then start the daemon with sudo systemctl start hddfancontrol, see its status with sudo systemctl status hddfancontrol and enable automatic startup at boot time with sudo systemctl enable hddfancontrol.
