SSD Fan Control is a self-explanatory application specially designed to help you manually adjust the fan speed of your Mac’s hard disk or optical drive with just a few mouse clicks.

Moreover, SSD Fan Control comes as a solution to users who changed their Mac’s configuration by installing third-party solid state disks or hard disks. By making such an upgrade, you can damage the fan management system that controls the fan speed of the hard disk.

The fan management system relies on the information provided by the SMC system. The SMC is designed to collect data from various external or internal sensors and provide information related to the temperature and the number of rotations of your hard disk.

Thanks to SSD Fan Control you can bypass the automatic fan control and manually adjust the fan speed. More precisely, the daemon used by SSD Fan Control runs in the background and is in charge of the fan management system.

Every time the SMC system resets to default, SSD Fan Control will take control and reduce the speed of the fans accordingly.

SSD Fan Control also features a user-oriented interface created to make it as simple as possible to easily monitor the temperature and the number of rotations of your Mac’s hard disk and optical drive.

You can manually adjust the fan speed of both units by selecting the Manual mode and, in addition, you can use the SMART mode to automatically adjust the fan speed according to the temperature of the hard disk.

The installation process of SSD Fan Control is pretty straightforward, you just have to download the freely available DMG disk image, mount it and follow the instructions offered by the installer.

To conclude, SSD Fan Control is a smooth-running and easy-to-use system utility designed to help you take control of your Mac’s fan management system and reduce the noise made by the hard disk or optical drive's fan.
