We took note of the drive’s temperature during some of our benchmarking runs. The drive we are looking at here is the plain, non-heatsink equipped drive and it does get pretty hot when pushed hard. The drive reached 66° C (with a 20° C ambient temperature) during the Performance Stability test, but it must be said there didn't appear to be any throttling issues during any of the test runs.
