This tutorial will show you how to check the current temperature of NVMe SSD drives in Windows 11.

The normal temperature range for NVMe SSDs typically falls between 35°C and 70°C. When idle, they usually stay around 40°C to 50°C. Under heavy load, temperatures can rise, but it’s best to keep them below 70°C to avoid potential overheating and performance issues.


Here's How:

1 Open Settings (Win+I).

2 Click/tap on System on the left side, and click/tap on Storage on the right side. (see screenshot below)

3 Under Storage management, click/tap on Advanced storage settings to expand it open, and click/tap on Disks & volumes. (see screenshot below)

4 Click/tap on Properties for a NVMe SSD "Disk" drive you want to check the temperature of. (see screenshot below)

5 Under Drive health, you will see the Temperature in Celsius (ex: 47°C) for this NVMe SSD. (see screenshot below)

That's it,

Is there a way to create a shortcut for this - too many clicks to remember.
Admin PowerShell:

Code:
Get-Disk | Get-StorageReliabilityCounter | Format-List -Property Temperature

use ISE and you can build a form/window for it to output to if thats what you want

*my bad. left the asterisk there. edited code to only output temp of drive.

Thank you Microsoft, it would be way too easy and logical to simply add to drive properties in context and have in reach with a simple right click.
No, this is great time waster to have to navigate through several pages to get to this. Microsoft Windows UX design has definitely been assigned to a Kindergarden.

Most NVMe SSDs have two temperature sensors. I.e., one for the NAND memory, one for the controller ASIC. The latter can easily run a lot hotter than the former. So, I wouldn't want to rely on any method that only shows the temperature of the former. HWiNFO64 allows me to see them both. They are two separate notification area icons that are always visible on my taskbar excepting only when I am in fullscreen mode.
