myarmor Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Hello.. this has had me a bit confused recently as both the Sensor and LCD config page doesn't display anything but the model/name of the harddrive such as "WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0" and nothing else. If you have two or more of the same drive, then its not easy to pinpoint which is which in those pages. May I suggest that at least when there are identical drives, then the serialnumber (or drivenumber from "Physical drives") is added to it, either directly or as a tooltip to differenciate them?

essence25 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I second that... It is very annoying, to have 16 HD's and all same brand, but when looking at the temps we have no idea of which is which... Please add an option where the serial number is entered automatically in the drive description... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBS Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Add me to the list! Two digit drive number (01) and last 4 of serial number. Guess this could be moved to Brainstorming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRosenfeld Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Alternatively, if the drives (volumes) are named, use the drive names. For example my C:\ drive is named 'System', my second drive D:\ is named 'data'. Acronis TI, for example uses those names, which Aida ought also to be able to access easily.

I guess you're really talking about labels. Aida already uses the drivenames (as in model name), hence the issue when having multiple identical drives. The trouble with this one is that a disk can have multiple partitions/volumes, in other words, it might not be so good. Which partition should it fetch the label from? I have three drives with identical labels due to same kind of content, so it wouldn't do so good here. Relabeling them is easy, but the previous question still remains. Using the same numbering as physical drives, or using the serialnumber of it it would be enough to uniquely know which drive is which just by seeing them, no matter what partitions are on it or not.

Fiery Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 We've implemented serial number indicator when multiple drives found with the same disk model ID. Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1219sdk6ngm0yczip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works. Thanks, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know how it works. Thanks, Fiery Thank you Fiery, you da man!Fast and sweet! Easy to find the right HDD to customize and relabel the OSD Drive ID! It was such a pain to figure out which of my many HDD's had the high temp/bad sensor. Best part, your hard work to keep the code tight is VERY much appreciated and noted! Just as fast on loading, as this finicky customer expects... Ahh, spoiled rotten and proud of it! After almost 5 years, you folks still make me smile! enjoy Just a note, my SSD does not come up on the ODS items, fine by me though. The MoBo or SSD controller did NOT read the correct temp anyway, maybe by design... It did show the fake SSD temp in the earlier version (pre-1.5), but I just disabled the HDD so it might have been removed earlier. Don't ready care and I'm OK with my ignorance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thank you for your feedback Unfortunately most SSD on the market today are unable to measure disk temperature Even the ones where the controller supports temperature measurement (e.g. SandForce controllers), sometimes the hardware implementation lacks the diode, and/or the firmware doesn't support temperature readout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myarmor Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thank you.. It seems to be working fine here, and it's in all locations I mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, a temp sensor for SSD is moot.Once you taste SSD speed, giving up a temp sensor is cheap at 1/2 the price. Thank you for supporting our needs in such a timely manor. Also, thanks to myarmor for the original request. I just got used to it, lazy I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
