Now the temperatures summary:

It's quite surprising to observe, but the G2 SSD runs as hot as the Pro version. The results are rather different this time, as Apex and MC1 Pro performed worse now, and they're visibly lagging behind the ElecGear/Sabrent duo.

Then looking at the performance, the only thing you need to notice is the one without cooling. 180 MB/s is not much faster than the best of the HDDs, not even close to the 500 MB/s mark for the SATA SSDs.
