Chia-Plotting Read out SSD load and temperature under Linux / Debian

You are currently creating mass plots with your SSDs for Chia and want to see the utilization of the SSDs and read out the temperature? No problem!

To do this, we first need to install two tools, iotop and hddtemp

apt-get update
apt-get -y install iotop
apt-get -y install hddtemp

You can read the labels of your drives with fdisk

fdisk -l

Now that you know the label (e.g. “/dev/sdb”), you can also query the temperature

hddtemp /dev/sdb

You can conveniently check the utilization of your disks with the command

iotop

displays.
