The drives were empty and being prepared to be used later.
This does not matter. The drives overheating and crashing have nothing to do with whether or not the data being transfered/written is encrypted or not encrypted. It occurs during all write operations exceeding two minutes(USB3.0) in time. It happened with 1000 small files and with a hand full of large files. When using USB 2.0 the time to overheat was extended to about 4 minutes of time
