The external SSD is overheating at rest.

Good afternoon! I have noticed that my SSD drive gets very hot when it is not under load. The resting temperature reaches 65 degrees Celsius.

I am using my device with macOS latest version and also with Windows 11 through Parallels software.

Temperature at rest is high on both macOS and Windows 11, please study the screenshots.

I tested the SSD on an Honor laptop with Windows 11 and there was no such problem.

Tried using different file systems on the SSD, nothing changed. Changing the port on the macBook didn't help.

I have a macBook Air 2020 m1, venture 13.4
