Temperature Measurements
Performing our high-workload benchmark stress tests, we always monitor the temperature readings of the drive. The controller reports a temp of roughly ~60 Degrees, which is very, very good for an NVMe drive without a heatsink.
SMART info
The total host reads/writes are quite surprising (big) for an SSD taken out of a box. Probably it's due to some health check has been done by Team Group.
