Is this normal? How come my desktop PC can play in 50fps with no issues but my gaming laptops internal SSD literal fries itself like those french fries. HWinfo shows this info. I'm worried about my SSDs life, its the only storage in my laptop. Other parts look normal. It occurs in any game if I play more than 30fps. Games are installed on it. What should I do to minimize the possible damage? Plus I turned off the cache-write too on the SSD, heat issue occurs while it turned off. Any ideas?

The cooling situation in a laptop is usually very limited.

Can you make something of it if you don't mind friend, I did put my specs above perhaps you didn't see it, I'd really like to know what is wrong with my SSD. Heating up to 65c-70c seems a bit high. Thank you! (65c 70c or not SSD utility never ever claims those numbers as "critical temperature" so that is good news I guess, it does not claim "warning temperature" either)

Yes, the 65-70C is a bit warm.
But not critical.

That exact same drive in a desktop, with better airflow, probably wouldn't get that hot.

There are other parts, that contribute to heat generation - cpu and gpu.
Only thing you can do with laptop - get yourself a laptop cooling pad.

You could replace 4gen NVME drive with 3rd gen NVME drive. Those heat up less.
Or add a thin copper plate on SSD for heat dissipation, if there's enough space for it.

Thank you both, unfortunately I'm not tech savy so my best option is it seems getting a cooling pad since my laptop have holes underneath so cooling pad can work I suppose, however do you think USB 2.0 powered ports can juice enough the cooling pad? I actually had one but it was spinning so slow so it did not do anything in temps.

Plus did I ever mentioned I hate useless thunderbolt ports? Those gaming laptops could use more USB 3.0 ports but no no god forbids having such things. I have no use for such port so it just populates the area where I could have one more USB port so I could plug in cooling pad when I get a new one. I been using a external connector hub. What a pain. Intel LOVES putting in garbage propertiety nonsense in to everything.

Thanks again
