Shame they don't get in to more graphic card coolers again, although fully understand why they don't these days.

As for the fan on this thing i be able to disable it with my case.

Definitely, I could use a nice GPU cooler for my old 980ti as I type this. I don't fancy having to either A. wc the entire rig to reuse the block or B. zip tie some 120s to it.

This is so DUMB...

Outside of enterprise / servers, the benefit of running Gen 5 is absolutely not worth this idiotic cooling requirement.

.................Unless of course the market is "creating" the consensus that Gen 5 NEEDS cooling to perform well and so they can create a new segment, for an otherwise stagnant heatsink market, with MASSIVE profitability = i.e. selling something 1/20th of the mass and size for the same 50$ as a CPU cooler.

But they wouldn't trick us like that right? :rolleyes:

...Or (hear me out here), you could just not buy a dumb SSD that needs cooling.

At some point - and this pretty much has to happen before PCIe 5.0 SSDs become mainstream enough to be relevant - they will need to work in laptops with near-zero airflow and minimal cooling.

If the fan only starts when the SSD is doing transfers above maximum gen 4 speeds then it's acceptable. Or even desirable, so you have a whining confirmation that your gen 5 SSD was worth the money!

Since gen5s run hot, how will oems use them in AIOs and laptops? maybe they will remain with gen4 for those devices?
