Does your Samsung 850 Pro SSD report "temperature" in S.M.A.R.T. data?
I could swear that the Samsung 850 Pro SSD I have in my Lenovo P70 laptop reported its temperature at one time in the recent past, to HWINFO64 as well as to AIDA64 as well as to Samsung Magician. However it no longer does that, as the temperature is not showing up in HWINFO64's display of S.M.A.R.T. data nor is AIDA64 offering it for display from the I/O sensor chip.
I have another one in a desktop machine, and that one too also does NOT report temperature. Both of these drives are running the latest BIOS EXM04B6Q.
I could swear I used to see temperatures for the 850 Pro in these two machines using AIDA64, perhaps when they were both still using BIOS EXM03B6Q. Maybe it's only been since both drives were upgraded to EXM04B6Q that the reporting of temperature in S.M.A.R.T. has disappeared.
I checked yet a third desktop machine with an 850 Pro that still has an even older BIOS version EXM02B6Q and it IS reporting temperature to AIDA64, which displays it. Again, the temperature isn't showing up in S.M.A.R.T. data displayed by any program, but the sensor chip in this desktop machine obviously is reading it and providing it to AIDA64. And Crystal Disk Info can see that temperature as well, although it too does not show temperature in the S.M.A.R.T. data.
If you own an 850 Pro, can you please report (a) what is the BIOS version, (b) is it reporting temperature, and (c) what software are you using where the temperature does or does not appear in?
NOTE: I can see the temperature using Crystal Disk Info 7.5.1, but it doesn't appear in the detail S.M.A.R.T. info. It only shows up in the large and prominent "temperature" items up near the top of the screen. Very strange. I wonder where that value being displayed is coming from for Crystal that no other program seems to know about?
