Laptops Using Laptop as download rig

[jammy420]

Hi,

Can I use my laptop for 24/7 download for couple of weeks? Will it cause any issue to hard disk? or any other potential issues. My download speed ranges from 512KBps to 2Mbps, depending on FUP data usage.

Thanks,
Partha

I have been using my laptop as a download rig for years now. My previous laptop was used for full time office work and full time download/upload rig for 4 years.

Heat/electrical fluctuation are ur main enemies. protect against them and you can quite safely use it for extended peroxides at one go.

my 32nm i5 processor runs @ 45 c to 65c. is it expected behavior and my hdd @ 49c.. can i continue to run my laptop at this heat for days?

Seems alright. Find your processor model number and then google '<processor model number> tjmax' for the max operating temperature. As an example, the i5 2410M has a max Tj of 100C.

HDDs run warmer in laptops. 49C is normal for a laptop drive.
