I have two SSDs in my system, one with Manjaro KDE installed (EXT4 filesystem, no encryption) and the other with Windows 10. I find that often whenever the computer wakes from sleep or from a cold boot the SSD with Windows 10 gets quite hot after a while (up to 68C - 71C), while the Manjaro SSD stays cool (~50C) even though I’m not accessing the Windows SSD. If I open up the KDE file manager and navigate to the Windows SSD and leave the window open for a bit, the temperature will eventually drop to within a couple degrees of the Manjaro SSD temperature.
Both SSDs pass SMART tests from the smartctl utility and are running the latest available firmware.
Below is the output of inxi and lsblk after opening the KDE file browser and leaving it running for a bit. The temps reported by inxi are low because there are two temperature sensors on the SSDs.
$ inxi -Dxxx
