@wavetrex: it would have probably died anyway at some point in near future. You got the new one I assume so... 🙂
@Agent-A01:
I am pretty sure every manufacturer does longevity tests and gets "high" temps. They still give you warranty and decide it's fine to have it at those temps. That's all I am saying here. My SSD never goes over ~50C in benchmarks, and never goes over 42C in normal, regular use (benchmarking is not normal regular use). All I have to cool SSD is nothing. 🙂 I have front case intake fan, backcase fan to throw out the air. Both at 5V, so, low rpm. Seems to me that some airflow, and not keeping it (SSD) near something very hot (chipset) is quite enough.
I didn't use or test every SSD, but I never saw one going that high in Desktop PC nor hear anyone complain about it. I would probably RMA the drive that gets that hot and if the new one does the same, I would change brand. But that's just me.
PS. My room temp is always around 25-26C, in case this means something to someone...

high speed m2 drives get toasty, dude. youre not gonna tell a forum full of enthusiasts that the manufacturer always knows best haha
when something runs hot...we put heatsinks on it 😉

or maybe some dont include heatsinks to cut costs & scale back warranty knowing their products wont last as long as they otherwise should...not because m2 drives running hot isnt a detriment to their lifespan :P
anyway good on teamgroup for including a heatsink...even if it isnt strictly necessary, its a nice thing to have; lower temps on hot chips is ALWAYS a positive thing.

Forgive me if I take samsung's word over yours...Also, no one is forcing you to buy their 950 Pro. There are cooler NVMe drives out there...
...notice the voltage difference between SSD and RAM, and you will know what the next step in SSD evolution will be...

were you arguing against those of us manually applying thermal adhesive to homemade heatsinks on winbond BH/CH5 chips back when DDR400 ran so hot it burnt out when overclocked, as well? just curious.

ha! you got me 😀 I did the same thing back then. Never had any of them burn out though O.o they just overclocked better...it's kind of a different scenario. These are SSDs that are running @ stock everything. I am not against having a properly vented case, and that should be enough unless you are running a server...
