My main desktop machine has an Icy Box caddy fitted with 4 x SSDs. The
caddy fits into the space of a DVD slot so very useful.
I have finally got round to removing the very small fans because of noise. Only been running for a couple of hours but temps are 22 degrees for all 4 drives, with fans fitted it was 20/21.
Seems to me this is well within limits. Is anybody aware of a monitoring software that would keep a record of temps every 30 minutes or so?

Unlike HDDs, SSDs burn most of their power when actively doing reads and writes. So unless you're thrashing them doing a RAID rebuild or something they aren't taking much power. You can look up the specs of the SSDs which will tell you their operating temperature range. In general SATA SSDs are low enough density (watts per cm3) that active cooling isn't needed - the metal drive chassis is a good enough heatsink.
The SMART data should tell you the drive temperatures - I don't do Windows but there should be tools to plot that information.

The NVMe that the Z170K boots from shows 30 to 34 but the second NVMe
which is on a PCIe card doesn't show up in HW INFO or in Crystal Diskinfo although it does in AS SSD benchmark, perhaps being in a card hides the sensor?
