=== My SSD inside fitlet reports high temperature. Is it normal? ===
SSDs vary in the power they dissipate. fitlet thermal envelope is quite tight due to its small size and fanless operation, so high temperature of an internal heat-dissipating component is to be expected. However, SSDs are very temperature tolerant so the reported temperature is not expected to affect reliability.
=== Is it OK for fitlet to run hot? ===
Yes. fitlet is very tolerant to high temperatures. The small form factor and passive cooling may result in operation temperature that is higher than the temperature of computers with fans. Users that are not familiar with miniature fanless PCs are often concerned about temperature, but the operation temperature does not have effect on reliability and safety.
Actual temperature varies depending on ambient temperature, ambient airflow, workload and devices - both internal and connected.
Unlike computers with fans that experience degradation in thermal performance over time and may overheat and fail catastrophically in case of fan failure, fitlet thermal performance is uniform and is not subject to aging.
