it's just stupid... i don't need lights and fans on the SSD... i need it reliable and cheap and staying cool under workload.
At these speeds it's like asking a CPU to run cool under workload. Your options are:
Active cooling
Slower speeds
Transistor breakthrough
Transistor breakthrough it is!
I don't even like RGB case fans... no idea why they thought this was necessary.
The fans on the M.2... that's a bit of question mark for me. They do get rather warm and many high end ones come with heat sinks. Some older SSDs has huge issues with overheating and stalling, so it's an open question yet if fans on drives is actually required or if the case design and airflow through the case just needs to be addressed before we start slapping fans on m.2 drives.
Then you presumably just buy one that satisfies that requirement and not an overkill Gen 5 NVME.
Ok
