We took note of the drive’s temperature during some of our benchmarking runs. Klevv's CRAS C930 comes with an optional stick-on full-width aluminium heatsink, using this in conjunction with enhanced thermal management (thermal throttling) to keep the drive thermally stable. We did all of our testing with this heatsink in place. The drive got fairly hot during our testing, with the hottest coming during the CrystalDiskMark 8's Sequential Write tests at 79° C, but despite this, we didn't see any thermal throttling occurring. The drive averaged 63° C for the bulk of the testing, with the 4K tests averaging 54° C.
