It is found that the problems of speed limit and downtime will occur when PCIe 5 NVMe SSD runs at high temperature.

CTOnews.com July 26 news, according to the German science and technology media ComputerBase recently measured Seagate FireCuda 540 SSD, that Weigang, Ying Ruida, gigabyte and other PCIe 5 NVMe SSD controlled by group E26, all have the problem of overheating speed limit and downtime.

Compared with traditional mechanical hard drives, NAND flash memory inside SSD is more sensitive to heat, and this problem is particularly prominent on PCIe 5.

ComputerBase tested Seagate's FireCuda 540 SSD and found that when the SSD ran at 87 degrees Celsius, the read speed dropped significantly and downtime occurred. ComputerBase said that a simple device restart will not solve the downtime problem, and a cold (hard) restart of the FireCuda 540s is required to take effect.

Groupon has previously issued a statement requiring the PCIe 5.0SSD to be equipped with a radiator or even a fan for active cooling.
