Hello good people,
I've got Lenovo ThinkPad T480 with 2x NVmE drivers. My second drive is Tosbiha RC100 in WWAN slot. It usually runs about 30-40°C, because it's drive only for data (no OS or SW is running from it), which means it's 99,9% inactive.
But sometimes even during the long periods of inactivty (iddling) drive runs about 60-63°C with no obvious reasons. This behaviour reflects to power consuption of T480 as well. When harddrive is in normal temps, T480 consumes about 4.5W when idle. When HDD is about 60°C, it consumes about 6.5W when idle.
Example: I was running CPUID HWMonitor for three hours and temp was 35-36°C during all activites. Then suddenly temp rises to 58°C and it's sitting there for 30 minutes or so. As I'm writing this post temp is 60°C and slowly rising. HDD usage is litteraly 0-1% all the time.
I have no idea what can be causing this behavior. I'm running Windows 10 1809.
Thank you for any ideas.
