We took note of the drive’s temperature during some of our benchmarking runs. The WD Blue SN570 doesn’t have a heatsink, but there is plenty of empty space on the PCB to allow air circulation around the components. The hottest the drive got was when it was being pushed very hard during the Performance Stability test run when it peaked at 53° C.
