Steve,

Same with the Crucial M500 I have in a drive dock connected to my office's '08 iMac. The only time it gets warm is during intensive disk activity and even then it's not particularly hot. An SSD may get particularly hot while the machine indexes the drive for spotlight.

Robert

Yes, this is an unusual aspect of SSDs. I've had a new external get quite hot during initial setup after cloning a ton of data. I think the issue is simply one where so much data is moving along the pipes that we are driving the hardware at (or beyond) specs.
