I'm surprised it doesn't overheat already. My 4TB on an M.2 2280 form factor runs at 60+ C. Compressing that down would make it much harder to dissipate the heat.
60˚C isn't a temperature worth worrying about. And if that's what your SSD is at when idle, then it's entirely due to having a bad SSD controller—the part that is absent from Apple's storage modules.
