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.

I'd be worried about how long it will take for the water level to more or less empty and the consequences.
I bet it isnt warranted for use without water and if there is a log kept of the temps they can "prove" it happened.

edit, forgot to add
It must be removed to refill water.

And there I thought they'd have put a connection to watercooling on it. Instead they just put a little water body on it? That's... lacking to the idea of it all, imho.
Also I can't imagine this being as effective as it should, a vapor chamber like from GPUs could be helpful, or a proper connector set to a custom loop.

More arguments for just sticking a metal heatsink on your NVMe drive rather than "water cooled"!

Exactly.
