Kingston V100 64GB SSD stays at 45C in my notebook, is this a safe temp?

I'm just casually using my computer and the temp reads at 45C according to HD Tune Pro. My eternal WD Green 1TB HD is at 37C temp.

This seems abnormal since most reviews peg the V100 SSD's temp at 38C. Maybe since my laptop is enclosed?

Most SSDs are rated to run up to around 70c when operating. As long as you don't let it get hot enough to warp the PCB or disrupt traces, you're not going to have issues.

it's fine remember that SSD's are not really more energy efficient than drives since they are on/off. The conservation of energy means more heat. but since there is no moving parts you have no problems until you reach the limit of the chips.

You realize the metal case is a heatsink - most laptops that are slim ditch that and just have the bare board of ssd which is far thinner.

This is why alot of PCIe solutions fail. they try to cram too much into too little space and the passive cooling just fails miserably during high i/o activity..
