As ssd`s don`t have any mechanical parts=no friction=no heat. That`s another good thing about an ssd, you don`t have to worry about temps.

For the longest lifetime and minimal errors 30'c - 40'c is the optimal temperature.

Im having a little issue with HD temps in an Inwin mini itx case. Yesterday it blue screened twice. After investigation it showed to be the HD. Checked temps and was reaching 50 degrees. Opened the case and it was roasting hot.
Did a disc repair as it showed errors and it blue screened again during. This morning booted up temp was a mere 34 degs. Ran the checkdisc again and completed fine. But obviously the small case is not helping with ambient temps , but would like some opinions on it too.

Like i say its been fine today

Thanks
