It's July 2024, and Guangdong has officially entered summer mode. Xiaobai observed the temperature during this time, and occasionally showed signs of 30 degrees Celsius.
In this hot summer, if there is no air conditioner to break the watermelon, it is simply a difficult thing to endure.
In such a high temperature environment, friends will feel extremely irritable. Not to mention electronics in service?
On our computer, there will be a heat sink in the important part, such as: CPU has water cooling, air cooling, natural cooling, passive heat sink, etc. Graphics cards have passive heatsinks, single-fan, dual-fan, and triple-fan cooling modules.
Does the computer just need to make sure that these two main pieces of hardware are not broken? No! Xiaobai tells you very clearly: there is another important hardware that needs to consider heat dissipation!
The body begins
This hardware is actually our SSD. Friends may be accustomed to the mechanical hard disk, thinking that the computer's mechanical hard disk does not need to dissipate heat, because it is not too hot, so there is no need to care.
Since the popularization of solid-state drives, the read and write speed of SSDs has far exceeded the read and write speed of HDDs. However, since HDDs do not consider heat dissipation, it will be assumed that SSDs do not need to be installed with heat dissipation.
As everyone knows, this is one of the biggest reasons for SSD damage!
There are many types of SSDs at present, such as SATA SSDs (SATA and M.2 ports), and NvMe SSDs (PCIe 3.0 / PCIe 4.0 / PCIe 5.0).
Here's a quick fact: the faster the hard drive reads and writes, the more likely it is to get hot.
Comparison of read and write speeds:
- NvMe Protocol > Sata Protocol
- PCIe 5.0 >PCIe 4.0 > PCIe 3.0
Generally, the maximum speed of hard disks using the Sata protocol will not exceed 600MB/s, and the temperature is relatively better when reading and writing at high speed. However, the NvMe protocol SSD is different, and the temperature may spike quickly when reading and writing at high speeds.
Therefore, it is best to add a heatsink or heatsink to the NvMe protocol SSD.
How do I check the temperature of my hard drive? Turn on AIDA64.
Click [Computer] - [Sensor] to see the temperature of each hard disk.
Xiaobai's desktop computer has two M.2 NvMe protocol SSDs installed, and the standby temperature in summer is about 41 degrees Celsius. If you want to check the temperature of your hard drive at high speed read and write, use the AS SSD Benchmark software:
Open the AS SSD Benchmark, click Start, and observe the corresponding solid-state data display of AIDA64.
If the data is not updated, you need to click the AIDA64 refresh button
Xiaobai's own SSD usage basically does not exceed 50 degrees Celsius. In general, the normal operating temperature of NVMe should be between 40°C and 70°C. If the temperature is 65 degrees Celsius or above all year round, the drive may be vulnerable to damage.
At this time, it is necessary to add a heatsink or active heatsink to the SSD.

Hopefully, the SSD won't get damaged by too much temperature......
