SSD Operating Temperatures

Temperature Measurements

During our test benchmarks stress tests with a high-stress workload, we monitor the SSD temperature. The unit idles at roughly ~30 Degrees C, the peak stress temperature measured hovers at roughly 58 Degrees C on the controller but that is cooled by the heatsink. 

If the coolant is cool, it will have a good dramatic effect on peak usage. The one concern that we however have is that the design of this unit potential can trap heat as there is no aluminum fin or radiator available, so the heat just sits in the coolant and then nothing happens. Imho heat can get trapped, whereas a normal heatsink can actively dispose of heat with a bit of airflow.

Now, why did I highlight the MP34? Well, that's really the SSD used, the Cardea gives or take the same product but with Liquid cooler. As you can see, the 10 Degrees C that TeamGroup claims is a bit far fetched, but even the 6 degrees C difference is a substantial one.
