TeamGroup T-Force Liquid NVMe SSD review

High-performance NVMe SSDs tend to run hot. Ergo you have seen the manufacturers offer solutions with heatsinks, incl motherboard manufacturers making that even easier for you. Team Group takes it to the next level, as they are fitting the Cardea NVMe SSD with a heatsink holding liquid. That's right, that is passive liquid cooling for you.

Team Group, the ones who make the data...flow.
Pardon the pun, that's the best I've came up with

I don't think you need this liquid cooled nonsense, I've got a 1TB Phison E12 Toshiba NAND drive (Sabrent Rocket 1TB), which is essentially the same as this one that's been reviewed in terms of the silicon and controller, and I just hammered mine with Crystal Disk Mark on the largest file size that you can choose (32GB - so the test takes a long time, 5-10mins I think but didn't time it) and the max temperature it reached was only 60 degC (24 degC room temperature) - and this is without any kind of heatsink on it, and of course no water cooling! I think I've got good air flow in my case though with x2 Noctua case exhaust fans (120mm & 140mm fans) in that area and a Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler located directly above my NVMe drive, so there's bound to be quite a bit of air flow in that area. I just don't think you need water cooling on an NVMe drive - stick a finned metal heatsink on it instead and ensure you've got reasonable airflow is all you need in my opinion, and if you've got really good airflow you don't even need any kind of heatsink on them. I like the "geeky gadget" side of this water cooled NVMe drive, but the complete lack of practical necessity of it makes it unreasonable & unattractive to me.
I enjoyed reading the article though, and it was worthy of a review, it's all interesting stuff.

Got me excited for a minute was thinking I could add this thing into my loop then I read it's standalone without a heatsink as well o_O
