Fascinating. So your phone contains fewer chips than a nvme since it doesn't act as a handwarmer?Well anything that contains a microprocessor generates heat and the faster the device the greater the delta t.
Yeah it's idling and warm as hell. However, I think what learns permit meant is that even when a CPU idles, it's pretty damn warm. Like you said, your M2 idles at 115F. That's enough to warm up an external enclosure.Not a personalized answer but I can tell you my internal nvme idles at 41c-50c/105f-122f (usually on the upper end, this is the first time I've seen it at 41c). And that's with one of those heatsinks -- whose effectiveness is unfortunately questionable according to people online
I hope that's normal!

What's even the point of your answer? We know electronics generate heat. OP is asking if it's normal to be that hot or not.
They get a lot hotter than that and that's why I don't understand the 70C Samsung temperature. They sure don't throttle at 70C.They can safely get up to90c iirc (almost 200f, about 20°f shy of boiling water).Samsung says 70c max, which is still hot enough to cook food on. If anything, you may want to avoid placing them on finished wood and some plastics, but the drive should be fine.
Clearly, selective suspend doesn't work. lol Fucking Microbrains.anything over 46c is going to feel hot, that's where its idling so....
check you bios for usb plug and charge or always on settings. see if turning that off lets it sleep.Clearly, selective suspend doesn't work. lol Fucking Microbrains.
Good idea. I'll check that.check you bios for usb plug and charge or always on settings. see if turning that off lets it sleep.
I can't remember what I did or if I failed to find a way to show temp on an external drive. The Sabrent runs really cool. I think it was the cheaper enclosure's controller that is getting hot, not the drive. BTW, using a high thermal conductivity pad will really help. In fact, pads can far exceed pastes. Arctic MX-4 has a thermal conductivity of 8.5 W/(mK). Pads can go over 60. Or, you can get a cheaper pad that equals paste. They do differ. I have a couple different LED M2 internal coolers, and one of them cam with pads that were so poor it was like a heating blanket over the drive.For data points, I have a gen 4 and a gen 3 in my box. The gen 4 has the mobo heat sink on it, the gen 3 has a think copper heat sink held on via o-rings. They idle at 34C and 31C respectively. The gen 4 is the boot drive. (both have thermal pads though)
I don't think they will ever not be warm. The question is how warm yours is getting. "warm" isn't a very specific term.

Where are you seeing that i said thermal pads blow away thermal paste?Where are you seeing thermal pads that are blowing way paste?
