Heat from SSD vs. HDD

My internal 256gb PCIe NVMe SSD (2280 size) failed recently, and I moved Windows 10 to my internal HDD. The laptop runs much cooler now. The fan is always running at a low speed - unlike before with the SSD. I had assumed that the higher temp was related to whatever issue led to the demise of the SSD.

However, I have discovered that a brand new NVMe does the same thing. Immediately the fan speed goes up, and I can feel the heat coming out of the vent. It's this normal?

While I had the back off, I did go over it with a can of air, cleaning the fan and vents. It really wasn't bad at all. Most accumulation was on the fan blades, but not enough to be concerning.
