• works like a charm for SSDs

  hudsonwJune 28, 2014

  Pros

  it works plain and simple

  Cons

  none whatsoever

  Summary

  The Apple 500GB Seagate 7200.12 HDD in my mid 2011 20.5" iMac failed its S.M.A.R.T. analyses so it was replaced with an OWC Mercury Electra 240GB 6G SSD. As expected, the hard drive fan speed was erratic, ranging from 1000 to 5000 rpm in seconds, and the fan noise was loud. I tried HDD Fan Control and smcFanControl but Macs Fan Control was the best solution because it allowed me to fix the fan speed to a constant 1098 RPM. Problem solved.

• Horrid interface & controls

  sgold_dotmacOctober 3, 2013

  Pros

  It does control the fans individually.

  Cons

  The control-element to change a fan speed only allows you to increment/decrement the speed in *1* RPM steps! Thus, for example, to change a fan's speed from 2000 RPM to 4000 RM requires you push the arrow 2000 times!

  Summary

  A good, useful program crippled by an unusable interface.
