Periodic 48C SSD cache drive temps. Bad for drive?


Recommended Posts

My SSD cache drive is periodically reporting temps of 48C esp when under hard load from Plex with transcoding multiple streams. It happens maybe once a week for 10-15 mins.

 

If it was a spinning disc I’d be automatically worried. Not sure if it’s harmful for SSD with those temps.

 

I recently changed my cache drive from a smaller Samsung 128Gb to a Adata 500GB. Not sure if it’s the brand switch or just harder loads since it only started happening recently and I switched the drive about 3 months ago.

It’s the Adata SU800 and specs say operating temps are 0-70C.

I’m unfamiliar how to interpret these specs. How close can I get to the max? If 70C is ok I’ll adjust unraid system warnings for that drive to increase temp

Thank you for this, just purchased & installed this drive, panicked when I got a critical heat error.

 

Set it for 60/65C, great thread!
