some user says the cause is motherboard/case temperature, but for me its because its NVME the more speed you get the more heat they produce.

, try to campare USB 2.0 FLashdrive vs USB 3.0 Flashdrive
i bet 100$ the USB 3.0 flash drive will be hotter.

in flash memory MORE SPEED = MORE TEMP
now some SSD have no DRAM wichi mean MORE WRITE = ANOTHER MORE TEMP
