We took note of the drive’s temperature during some of our benchmarking runs. Corsair's 2TB MP700 Pro XT doesn't come with a heatsink per se, but it does have a layer of copper built into the product label. The reason Corsair doesn't need to use a large cooler with the drive is thanks to the choice of controller. Thanks to its 6nm build process, the Phison PS5028-E28 runs a lot cooler than the PS5026-E26 that previous MP700 drives used. The hottest the MP700 Pro XT got during the benchmark runs was 47°C during a CrystalDiskMark 8 default Write test. It averaged 37°C for the bulk of our testing and 31°C for the 4K-based tests.
