Symptoms

You might see that the SSD temperature reaches 80°c and that writing speed drops by almost 50% after 15 or 20 minutes while copying large files.

Cause

Copying voluminous data for more than 10 minutes with a high load is comparable to a stress test, during which the SSD consumes more energy, leading to a rise in SSD temperature and it triggers thermal throttling.

Resolution

Working as Designed This behavior is considered normal if the SSD does not exceed its maximum temperature limits. Back to Top
