No other cases reported from the thousand+ reviews on Amazon or anywhere else. Probably an issue with the person's computer and maybe power delivery more than the SSD. Otherwise, very unlikely. Mine stays very cool.
I'd be extremely suprised if it did! There would have to be some seriously high Temps involved in setting an SSD on fire. You basically have a few wires, printed circuit boards and a number of ram chips and that is pretty much it. I did a couple of searches and it seems that if an ssd burns it's due to a bad power connection from where someone has hooked in their cable
Would you like
frieschips with that?240GB is the sweet spot nowadays. $86 dollars will get you one.
And people don't know, there is a big speed difference between a 128GB and 240GB SSD. Why? Larger-capacity SSDs have more NAND chips on them than lower-capacity counterparts. With more memory chips comes more controllers, with more controllers more simultaneous reads/writes.
The 240GB SSD is twice as fast as it's half-sized cousin (350 MB/s sequential write as opposed to just 150)

Its not a bad basic ssd, its also available for $55 through msy. If you're going to use the pc as a media centre I recommend getting a decent sized hdd for storage. You can get a WD blue 2 or 3tb drive for $98 or $132 respectively
