Question SSD Temperature Sensor Stuck at 45 C with Hard Disk Sentinel

[trafo]

i just bought a new ssd. RX7 256 GB its very popular in my country. When im open hard disk sentinel my ssd temp was stuck at 45 degrees all the time. Is that normal if the sensor is broken or maybe that im missing something. Im very grateful if you someone can guide me about this because im still new with ssd.

That's normal and within safe operating temperature

Maybe the temperature sensor has been disabled in the firmware? Does the temperature change if you warm the SSD with a hair dryer (not too much, though)?

oh okay but i really want to know the real temperature.

how to enable that sensor? yeah i can feel it with my hand if using a hair dryer but i try one time after installing os in my ssd and then i turn off. i check my ssd and its not warm at all more like room temperature.

That is the real temperature. Most SSDs have so little variance in temperature the sensor doesn't register any changes, unless you got something generating a lot of heat near the drive or very poor airflow in your build.

My SSD is usually at 42C with a max of 44C while my HDD sits at 40C most of the time due to low load time I put on it. My son's SSD sits around 44-45C most of the time. HDDs usually have a higher temperature difference when they're reading/writing big chunks of data.

Is this a SATA or NVMe SSD?

Can you show us the PCB? Some PCBs have a discrete temperature sensor IC whereas others have a temperature sensor on the flash controller's die.

its SATA SSD

its weird even when im play games in my ssd the temp still 45C but with hdd max is 45C and idle 30C sometimes 28C

What are the Current and Worst temperature values in the SMART report?

Try GSmartControl. It may display a temperature history in one of the SMART logs.

That's because gaming doesn't tax the drive too much. Writing/reading many GBs of data would do for a moment, but the drive will return back to it's normal idle temperature.

I have a Silicon Power 128GB SSD with temperature fixed at 40°C all the time.

Could be a firmware glitch but there is no new firmware for that model so I just leave it as is, the case is well ventilated so no worries.

I have exacly the same issue. My SSD shows 33C since the startup of the system and never get cold or hotter. Don't know why this happens.

If your computer case is well ventilated, there is nothing to worry, SSD usually uses its own case for thermal dissipation.
