Hello, here's my system info

~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release:	16.04

~$ apt-cache policy udisks2
udisks2:
  Installed: 2.1.7-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.1.7-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.1.7-1ubuntu1 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


Here's the problem: udisks2 constantly shows that my ssd temperature is 99°C (210°F), but in reality it's 30°C

in the GUI app ("Disks") it shows the wrong temperature too. hddtemp
works well though:

~$ sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: PNY EU SSD CS1311 240GB: 30°C
