External mSata ssd very hot.
Having tried HWiNFO64 to get temperature of external drive. = 53/54 Celsius
Kingston mSata SUV500MS 480GB in aluminium enclosure via short cable to USB C/Thunderbolt socket.
Machine uses AHCI.
Task Manager shows ssd at gentle use but is nearly too hot to keep hand on casing.
After some minutes ... C: drive at zero, CPU at 3 percent or less, mSata ssd at zero percent, memory at 22 percent .... still very hot.
Aluminium enclosure is in free air resting on an acrylic flat surface (part of a stand to improve laptop ventilation).
Now after more minutes at idle ... max temperature up to 55. Shows activity in all areas of zero.
Internal C: drive nvme = 29 max.
Chipset max = 40.
Is this mSata ssd drive going to have a very short life ?
