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. This, together with the lower power consumption that 6nm architecture of the controller brings to the table, seems to keep the drive reasonably cool during use, even when it was being pushed hard during benchmarking. The hottest the drive got was when being pushed hard during some of the CrystalDiskMark 8's Write tests where it got to 57° C. For the bulk of our testing, the drive averaged 45° C with the 4K focussed tests averaging 40° C.
