mod edit: User still trying to desperately cause console wars by misrepresenting a video about an SSD that was hot, and made a bait thread insinuating it was the entire console. Therefore thread has been closed until they learn to accurately reflect the topic at hand.
Timestamped.
In Giant's Beastcast (Giant Bomb) preview of the Xbox Series X console the presenter (Jeff Bakalar) experienced both the console, and the SSD getting really hot, even when on standby mode. Naturally on standby mode this should not happen as the console isn't processing any major graphical workloads to speak off that stress the system's cooling - at least that's a safe natural assumption.
Should this be a source of debate or interest regarding this console?
Does this have the potential to become problematic for the console's overall longevity?
IF it's an issue, how do you think it will get addressed? Higher RPM's for the fan (more noise)?
Quick Resume the culprit? Poor cooling? Combination of?
Feel free to discuss, no right or wrong answers here.
Small little transcript for mobile users of the conversation:
Jeff Bakalar: It's on fire.... it's super hot (SSD on hand).
Jeff Bakalar: Totally, and I'm sure they're (MS) not stoked for me to even get into that much kind of detail (NDA).

Why is it so hot?
.....bla bla bla...
So here's what's crazy right. This thing..... so this was just plugged-in in standby mode behind me. And guys, the entire thing (gestures to the console port side) is a little toasty. Umm...
Alex Navarro: Now again this is pre-release hardware to be fair.Jeff Bakalar: Totally, and I'm sure they're (MS) not stoked for me to even get into that much kind of detail (NDA).
But you know the people were asking like.... ohh you know...it seems like it's in the way that a lot of the other consoles were doing stuff while you were not using them.
It seems like this thing might be doing something while you're not using it to the point where it needs to exhaust heat.
