Hello everyone. I have Predator neo 16 which comes only with 512gb SSD. I have recently bought 1 tb Samsung pm9a1 ssd for my laptop. Windows is installed in 512gb SSD. The problem is that whenever my laptop runs any program 512gb SSD always overheats. It shows 55-60 C degress while my second 1tb SSD works normally which is around 30-35 C degrees. How can I stop overheating problem of my 512gb SSD?

    What is your laptop model number, as the SSD1 512GB boot drive will always run hotter than the SSD2 M.2 SSD slave drive, its not unusual that a boot drive will run at those temps especially if you use the laptop in a hot environment and for this drive to reach 55-60C which is anormal temp range. What I would do is this, put the 1TB Samsung PM9A1 drive into SSD2 slot, then clone the 512GB boot drive with the Samsung Data Migration software and then put the 1Tb Samsung PM9A1 drive into SSD1 as a boot drive, as the Samsung drive will run cooler and use the 512GB as slave drive. Try that and see if the temps are lower.
