Question Operating temp. of mSATA

[13hm13]

I just purch'd an mSATA ssd (made by Vaseky) to replace an ancient 40GB 2.5" ide HDD in an old Dell.
I usually use a utility program (like SpeedFan) to monitor various temperatures (like CPU or HDD). My old HDD produced dynamic temp. readings such as 50C to 55C.
But the new Vaseky ssd just reads a static "35C" (never changes).
Do most mSATA ssd's have internal temp. sensors?

unless you are doing heavy i/o. ssd drive temp is pretty low.

Regardless, do mSATA ssd's have built-in temp sensors like HDDs?

not sure about that model but samsung one do

Not even all Samsung mSATA drives do.
I have an older 120GB Samsung mSATA in one of my systems, and no temp reading, in either Speccy or CrystalDiskInfo.

On the naked kit, I put my finger on it to feel warmth ... and it definitely is above ambient. Not sure if it's the SSD chips or the 3-pin voltage reg. that's warm.
May have to get an IR probe on it.

"above ambient" is absolutely normal and to be expected.
Physics demands this.
