Samsung T7 Shield SSD's stays warm when my Mac Studio is turned off and plugged into Studio Display

My External Samsung T7 Shield SSD's stay warm over night when my mac studio is turned off and it is plugged into my Studio Display.

I also have an external LaCie drive that is plugged in directly to the Mac Studio and that cools down when the computer is turned off.

The SSD's however are continue to stay warm the entire night.


I don't have any other plug outlets to plug in these external SSD's since i am already using the other ones for external hardware and controllers for my Music Production studio.


Just wondering if this is normal? or if i should even concern myself with this?

I would assume this would shorten the lifespan of the SSD's which i definitely do not want.


I also got this FORZA SL-801UL as a breaker/surge/voltage protector + Power Backup since i am in Colombia and there are regular power outages around here.


Would this contribute to the issue?
