Symptoms
You might see that the SSD temperature reaches 80°c and that writing speed drops by almost 50% after 15 or 20 minutes while copying large files.
Cause
Copying voluminous data for more than 10 minutes with a high load is comparable to a stress test, during which the SSD consumes more energy, leading to a rise in SSD temperature and it triggers thermal throttling.
Resolution
Working as Designed
This behavior is considered normal if the SSD does not exceed its maximum temperature limits.
