The only time I've even seen drive temp sensor alarms is on server raid arrays and other similar hard drives/SSDs.... Never in my life have I seen one available on a consumer device, nor have I seen any alarm for and drive temp, go off. It just doesn't happen.

IMO, this is one of those language barriers where people call their computer chassis (and everything in it) the "hard drive".

Applying that assumption, their updated statement is: His computer over heated.

Idk what kind of shit system he's running on that 60k rows would cause overheating, but ok.

Technically they could have had been using a computer without any temperature sensors or fans and each row was actually a 1GB file.

And also they had a hairdryer pointed the the drive.

It's possible!

The trick is to take the hard drive out of the EVA foam.

Hard drive? How old is his computer?

What in the fuck is this idiot doing? I've process datasets far larger than that and never once have I run into a hard drive "overheat". I mean what level of incompetence do you have to have to get a hard drive to overheat processing a measley 60K rows of data?
