I agree, SSDs can get very hot. I wonder if SSD lower the speed when it is getting very hot.

I would think it would kill its speed.

I agree it would kill the speed. Slowing a SSD may also extend the SSD life a little bit.

I don't know if a SSD can die from over heating, I know it has a large, yet limited read/write amount.

I think SD cards can overheat, and break. SD cards are similar to SSDs because they both have Flash memory Microchips, a circuitboard, and many tiny parts.
If the SSD and SD card gets very hot, they can even melt because they have parts which are made of plastic.

I read forum posts of SD card or the SD card reader melting because they maybe defective, and may of been damage by water, or heat from a fire or room heater.
It is best to backup your data to a PC, USB hard drive or online since a SD card can become defective, and melt from hot heat sources like a fire and heater.
