I have a Samsung 970 PRO 1TB installed in a micro ATX box, with a tiny copper heatsink on the controller chip.
Strangely, for some period of time (like 4-5 days), while idle, the SMART temperature is above 50Cconsistently, then now stays at 45C consistently. There is no difference what so ever - I even checked the room temperature within 1 deg F. The drive is just below 70% full.
I am wondering, with that much of occupied data, is my SSD doing some background work with my data for long period of time (hence 50+C) then probably it finished that job and now it stays at 45? Is this a plausible guess?
