How to check hard drive temperature in Windows 11

There are several ways to check your hard drive temperature in Windows 11. In this guide, I'll show you two ways using the Settings app and the third-party tool CrystalDiskInfo.

You might not usually think to check your computer's hard drive temperature, but depending on your work environment or the task at hand, it might be a good idea to do so, as running a storage drive at a high temperature can affect performance and cause other problems.

As a rule of thumb, a drive should be operated at temperatures below 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit). Anything above that could indicate a drive overheating problem. Hard drives typically run at temperatures between 30 (86 °F) and 45 (113 °F) degrees Celsius.
