We took note of the drive’s temperature during some of our benchmarking runs.

Biwin's Black Opal X570 PRO doesn't come with a heatsink but it does use a graphene thermal pad under the product label, the combination of this and the 6nm design of the controller works well to keep the drive cool, well cool for a Gen5 drive.

The hottest the drive got was when being pushed hard during some of the CrystalDiskMark 8's Write tests where it got to 60° C. For the bulk of our testing the drive averaged 46° C with the 4K focussed tests averaging 38° C.
