We took note of the drive’s temperature during some of our benchmarking runs. The well-designed extruded aluminium heatsink on the CS3140 keeps the temperature down even when the drive is being pushed hard during benchmarking. The hottest the drive got on three occasions was 46° C (with a 22° C ambient temperature).
