1TB Storage Expansion Overheating

Three years later…

It seems Framework changed the URL you linked to without redirecting us. It’s as of writing this reply located here.

My 1T expansion - purchased in 2025 - reaches 50+ C when idle.
Has anyone had this issue (without performing reads/writes) ?

At first I thought there was no thermal pad inside but that was incorrect. There is a thermal pad installed.

Update:
I spoke too soon: there’s an entire thread about it here.
I also measured the (idle) card in situ: the bottom casing is 40 C.
