ARM or Intel Atom) with passive cooling (no fans), and a chassis with fans close to the hard drive. The ideal use case is for a NAS with several hard drives, a low power CPU (ie. 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). it also minimizes power consumption at the same time.


it minimizes noise generated by the fans.it allows maintaining your hard drives in the ideal temperature range to have maximum longevity and avoid overheatingīecause fans will slow down or stop when not needed:.HDD Fan control is a command line tool to dynamically control fan speed according to hard drive temperature on Linux.
