Running updated Debian on a pretty old iMac. Seeing messages that complain
about sda, only drive in the system:
190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 045 037 045 Old_age Always
FAILING_NOW 55 (255 255 60 26 0)
194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 055 063 000 Old_age Always
- 55 (0 19 0 0 0)
Old iMacs are hot running.
Yikes!
Whether 55 is actually too hot for the drive really IMO should be checked with
its manufacturer.

Some of my drives report "Min/Max Temperature Limit":
HGST -40/70 Celsius
Maxtor 0/71 Celsius
Samsung 0/70 Celsius
Seagate 10/60 Celsius
Toshiba 10/60 Celsius
Western Digital -40/70 Celsius
Does anyone know the SMART definition for "Min/Max Temperature Limit"?
Notably -- is it operational temperature limits, or non-operational limits?
