I’m booting openwrt off a usb c thumb drive connected to a fanless Celeron mini pc. The pc is cool but the thumb drive is so hot i can’t touch it.

Any ideas?

    Pretty normal tbh, a lot of those thumb drives get very hot. Probably not great for its lifespan though.

    Best bet is install an SSD if you have a spot for an M.2 or 2.5" drive inside.
