What were your temps before? Im guessing your board doesn't have integrated heatsinks.
Temps maxed at 61c before.. After installing the heatsink, highest reading was 43c.

Samsung(?) chip plant had a power outage recently, not sure if that's exactly why but wouldn't surprise meDamn it. Just getting ready to build out the next box. Was there an event (or increased collusion) that is driving up these drive prices?
This is the craziest re-badge job I've ever seen. But according to the images this an 1TB E12 based drive for right now (1/15/20) for $120. PIONEER lol... yeah the folks that make head units and turntables.

In theory this is just the same reference design with their sticker on it. No different than what sabrent and many others were doing. It has the same string of numbers along the top of the PCB like many of the reference PCBs do.Once upon a time Pioneer made a pretty wide variety of PC hardware and optical media drives. I'm still running a Pioneer Blu-ray drive in my workstation that's among the fastest I've benchmarked for ripping media. This is kinda neat to see; I just wonder how good a drive it is.
Just a heads up, I slapped an EK NVMe heatsink on the 1TB and load temps dropped almost 20c..

Do these normally run pretty hot?
I stuck one in a laptop which as no heatsinks, but now its fans are at non-inaudible levels all the time. I wonder if it is compensating for heat released by this drive.
They can get toasty w/o a heatsink. If there is room, try a thinner heatsink. For ex. this Lenovo E595 would not fit a thick ek sink so I used the one below. Ideally you want the drive not to throttle.

Mine hit 72*c under use. Otherwise 23*c.
More stuff to get. It's a shame there isn't a waterblock for these.
I used HWiNfo64, but CrystalDiskInfo shows temps tooWhat are y'all using to monitor temps?
It's a good thing I'm not using air to cool the TR. Thanks for the suggestion. I may actually go that routeAquacomputer make a few blocks for m.2.

I'll just blow on it, it'll be fine...Same.
And yea, these things do run hot so get a heatsink if need be....
I'm not convinced at all this should be a serious consideration when purchasing this drive.
AS SSD tests lower than crystal, you can see my replies where I did the same test.Are you sure you're not running the Professional, as opposed to the premium? Those numbers seem way out of line.
Updating the firmware has always seemed like a hack job on these, and potentially destructive. Are you sure it will actually make an appreciable difference?Update the firmware. Although be aware, queue depth is a factor for sequentials.

For me it's the boot drive for my server, which only reboots quarterly, and I cannot afford any possibility of a fried drive. I can't image it provides enough of a benefit for me to bother, but perhaps it will for DogsofJune.
I think the most current is 12.4 but I've only seen 12.3 in this thread (I believe).
Mine came with 12.6 (picked up at MC 2 weeks ago)
RE: Heat
These SSD drives can run very very warm to somewhere approaching hot by design. At one point I had the operating temp range for these chips and I remember the numbers were like 160F or something silly. Can they run hotter than the flames of hell? Probably not. When I've researched this, it was always an air-flow issue.
