The hddtemp utility gives you the temperature of your optical hard disk drive as well as SSD (as per my test). Open a terminal in your Ubuntu-based system and install the following.
We are going to use a couple of packages to achieve the same. Steps for monitoring CPU and HDD temperature on Ubuntu Using terminal However, modern Linux distributions are well capable of handling overheating situations via software sensors.

Because these thin ones are tightly coupled together inside, and no matter how much heat transfer mechanism is implemented, it heats up. But, if you are using very older hardware or a thin one, you may run into an overheating problem. You do not actually require checking CPU or HDD temperature if you are an average user.
