We took note of the drive’s temperature during some of our benchmarking runs.

Because of the Corsair MP600 Core Mini's small format, we had to use an adapter to test the drive in our normal test rig. The Sabrent EC-PCIE comes with an aluminium heatsink and thermal padding to help keep any drive inside cool. The hottest the drive got was when it was being pushed very hard during the Sequential write test using CrystalDiskMark8 (QD1-32 T1), when it peaked at 46° C which is 19° C under the maximum operating temperature, which is getting a  little too close for comfort. For the non-4 K tests the drive averaged 37°C while for the 4K-based tests, the average was 36°C.
