    External mSata ssd very hot.


    Having tried HWiNFO64 to get temperature of external drive. = 53/54 Celsius Kingston mSata SUV500MS 480GB in aluminium enclosure via short cable to USB C/Thunderbolt socket. Machine uses AHCI. Task Manager shows ssd at gentle use but is nearly too hot to keep hand on casing. After some minutes ... C: drive at zero, CPU at 3 percent or less, mSata ssd at zero percent, memory at 22 percent .... still very hot. Aluminium enclosure is in free air resting on an acrylic flat surface (part of a stand to improve laptop ventilation). Now after more minutes at idle ... max temperature up to 55. Shows activity in all areas of zero. Internal C: drive nvme = 29 max. Chipset max = 40. Is this mSata ssd drive going to have a very short life ?

    :)

    Need some advice on an mSATA SSD swap

    @EdTittel, You are welcome.
    Since you did not have the USB interface for mSata. You can make a backup copy of the 500GB to a regular external USB HD then:
    1. Replace the 500GB with the 250GB.
    2. Boot up Macrium rescue disk, select the image to restore and 250GB as destination
    3. Do steps 3-8 above

    mSATA SSD

    Hi everyone,



    I was wondering if anyone had used a mSATA to 1.8'' adapter, something like this:



    http://www.addonics.com/products/adms18sa.php



    , I'm just asking because mSATA SSD's are quite cheaper than 1.8'', and I'd like to buy one of these for my booklet.



    Thanks in advance,

    Regards
