Thumb drive heating up

Selfhosted@lemmy.worldEnglish · 6 months ago

I’m booting openwrt off a usb c thumb drive connected to a fanless Celeron mini pc. The pc is cool but the thumb drive is so hot i can’t touch it.

Any ideas?

It’s normal for it to heat up under load, but it’s not normal for it to be under load 24/7 indefinitely.
