    Nice specs on this one. These days a performant NVMe SSD needs a heatsink, but I think Gigabyte is overdoing it a litte bit with that heatsink...:eek:

    Cheers! :)

    That cooler is something else, alright.

    There's the big Corsair copper one too but eh if it works and if it fits I guess it's OK. :D

    EDIT: OK so that's not the heatsink Aorus one I saw earlier today that's a big pipe cooler.
    (Because I'm mixing up all the brands again it seems, big copper thing was the prior Aorus one too.)

    EDIT: Guess I have to look up some of these various models.
    Ah those are 5 GB/s devices this is ("Up to!") 7 GB/s.

    Suppose that's a different controller then.

    One that is a little bit, hotter. :p
    Now I'm curious how well these even fit, guess having multiple M.2 slots can be a good thing even if it can come with some caveats.

    Well the one here would be a bit flatter so dissipation with the heat pipe solution is probably good even compared to some other larger heat spreader solutions even if it's a bit bulkier.

    Isn't that a downside with these triple, quad, penta whatever it's up to now cell layers and this is overcome by a large initial cache memory but burst transfers of a lot of smaller files (Which Windows loves handling and is really great at! Or not without third party software at least.) and this fills up so the ideal disk to disk speed or however you'd get the full performance otherwise is a little bit different from actual speeds during regular usage.

    Suppose that's held true since the HDD days though.
    (Platter to platter then though and also a big amount of cache memory to mitigate it at least somewhat.)

    EDIT: Have to read up on that suppose it should be more than the cells estimated life time and the productivity cost balanced against one another.

    a slower ssd with higher capacity should work as fast as a better one with smaller capacity when you have slc cache
    e.g. 660p does very well as long as you have slc cache available

    imo best way is to find the right balance
    e.g. buy a 2tb mirange rather than 1tb high end or 4tb low end

    When are these going to come with water blocks for inclusion in someone's loop?!?

    Damn things look like they need their own radiator!

    looks like it could rip the m.2 slot in light transport

    These coolers are getting a little out of hand... waiting for the first air cooled one now, wonder if it saves more space having them in a pcie slot single slot with a small fan to cool them down?

    You can already get heatsinks with sata powered fans, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M-2-NVME...039540?hash=item3b4e23ccf4:g:bVMAAOSwPcpfVzLY

    Also this heavy duty one

    Ive used the Istorm on 2 different drives and they worked really well, only downside was the cable didn't feel very secure and because it was sata powered it was always on.

    Not sure about those ones but I ran 2 of the blower style coolers some time ago and i could not hear them....well you probably could if you berried your head in to your pc and turned everything else off that made a noise louder than a pin being dropped, I don't know why the likes of Asus, Msi and others have not already added something like this to there mid/premium end boards.
