    Does a SATA SSD Heat Up?

    Hello Mac friends. I'm deciding which 2.5" to 3.5" bracket I should buy for a Crucial SATA SSD to upgrade the Mac's hardisk to SSD. Do SATA SSD heat up like M.2 NVMEs (usually needs a heatsink)?

I want to install an Apple Blade SSD, but I heard that 21.5" iMac models that came with the standard hard drive don't have the PCIe storage slot, is that true? Im fine with using a 2.5"...
