judgmental (Crystaldiskinfo)

 The last time I talked about "crystaldiskinfo" a woman railed against depicting girls,
And let's just get that out of the way: without reading the entire site I don't know why but maybe they're his kids, although they'd be all grown up now.
Maybe it's the whole anime (insert Japanese phrase here) craze.
It doesn't matter.
The program is mostly unreadable, and only idle people without a lot to do, *guess* at the values.
Here are two examples. one of them is a demo picture, and one is mine.
There is no way you could possibly translate the hex number into something readable, unless you own the book on inscrutable numbers and numerology (numberitude)







13d and 145, and both are supposed to be fine.
Mine sits waiting so I'm not getting an accurate reading when it works, but people say it could be on the hotter edge of "70" and still be fine.
Yeah, now tell me how to translate "44c" into "13d" (It's kelvin, see below)
It sits blanketed by my enormous and fat video card. It has a retail heatsink.
I honestly don't know,
if it lasts a year and doesn't melt or burn up, I guess it's fine.
Plus, it (the reading) Always seems to be "44" which makes me think it's decorative or something.
"Vendor-specific," say some, meaning that whether to add a sensor is up to vendors.




Temp is in Kelvins (oooooh.)

A utility (a typical one) might not differentiate between ATA and "NVME", like western Digital does (different numbers for different types)
And they actually have their own (prolly unreadable) utility.
Critical warning! (But it's in Greek)
Length 1 (1-what? byte?) 

the above picture (the 00x00) rivals Wikipedia in opaqueness, which is odd considering it's a critical warning.
Bit 00 (left to right or right to left? Binary or hex?) (why the double zero's?) 
0010 (Guessing) means at some point the drive got too hot.
Maybe they mean four bits, each of which can mean a different dire warning.
Save whales, conserve space!  






"13d" is 317k is 43.8C, but it hasn't changed so it might be for show.
