Current temp over 9000????

All meme's aside I do have a very strange temp reading from Seatools for DOS. I have a Current Temp: 1703965 Something is amiss here eh? Anyone else notice this? I've seen posts for incorrect temps but never this bad.

Re: Current temp over 9000????

Raw SMART values, for HDDs, are 48-bit numbers. These values sometimes consist of several components.

1 703 965 = 0x1A001D

As you can see, there are two temperature values -- 0x1D and 0x1A.

These equate to 29C and 26C in decimal, and probably reflect the current and maximum temperatures for the current power cycle.
