We took note of the drive’s temperature during some of our benchmarking runs.  The EKWB-designed heatsink works well. The hottest the Lightsaber Collection Special Edition FireCuda got under testing was while running the CrystalDiskMark 8 Sequential QD1-32 T1 write test where the temperature peaked at 42° C. The same test run with a non-heatsink equipped standard FireCuda 530 saw a peak temperature of 55° C.
