SAS Drive overheat on LSI9305-16i

[berkinkartal]

Dear Experts,

I'm using Freenas on HPE ML350 Gen9 server equipped with LSI9305-16i HBA (firmware 16.00.01.00 in IT mode).
Running the latest stable release FreeNAS-11.2-U6 and my 8x SAS harddrives heat up during normal (idle) operation. The temperatures go up to 58 to 60 Celsius in environment server is located in room temperature (22-23 degrees Celsius). I have another identical drive cage on this server which is connected to internal "Smart Array P440ar", there everything is the hardrive temperatures are absolutely normal. Is it possible that the firmware on LSI9205 causing this problem?
any suggestions? Which firmware is recommended on this controller?

If I understanding correctly you're saying your HDDs are too hot? I would guess the issue to be more related to the air flow if your chassis than with the controllers.

This is likely part of the issue here, if I am reading the specs correctly you've got a 10krpm disk. Those will generate more heat than a typical 5400 or 5900 rpm WD Red or Seagate IronWolf drive that lots of folks use.

The difference between the two sets of drives likely comes down to airflow and load. How are you cooling those drives?
