We took note of the drive’s temperature during some of our benchmarking runs. The WD Blue SN580 doesn’t have a heatsink, but as there are so few components on the PCB, there is plenty of room for air circulation. The drive did get particularly hot during some of the testing but to be fair on the drive it was being pushed very hard by some of the benchmarks, far harder than it would see in everyday usage, so these figures are very much worse case scenario.
