I bought this M2 SSD about 2 years ago, it is a T-Force Cardea Liquid 512 GB. It is very fast, but the temperature is quite te same as a normal SSD with passive dissipation. I like so much this “different” hardware stuff, what do you think about it?

This is literally the stupidest shit I’ve seen in years.
Incredible. Instead of a heatsink with larger surface area, they added a pocket of liquid. Genius. I’d ask the designer if they considered how it should dissipate the heat…
This is dumb. A heat sink would be better, and RIP to your whole system if this leaks.
I’m glad it works well but that looks like a marketing gimmick
There is no pump or water movement. Water isn’t sent to a radiator. It’s just… there.
This is entirely decorative.
This is an m.2 watercooler :

Notice the G1/4 ready ports and the fittings+piping this uses once installed.
That’s not liquid cooled.
The liquid isn’t doing any cooling on that ssd.
People buy anything
Everything about this just screams gammic.
Hahahaha this can’t be real. This isn’t a real post. Nope.
Everything is water-cooled nowadays, CPU, GPU, RAM and now SSD. Incredible
Cool yet totally pointless when not connected to some sort of cooling system.
A piece of aluminium would do that exact same thing without the risk of water/coolant damage.
Is there a dolphin inside that moves when you tilt it side to side? lol
whata the point of this..
Im more interested as to why there is a 200UL micropipette tips next to it
Brought to you by the guy who asked if adding a capped off radiator (i.e. not part of a loop) would improve his cooling performance.
M.2s don’t even need heatsinks. It’s a scam everyone fell for.
Useless but looks very cool
I want one
if there is a cold area you can get water rotation. Back in the early 2000ends there where some guys experimenting with pumpless water cooling loops, same theory.
Don’t SSD NAND chips prefer running hot anyway. Pretty sure it’s only the controller chip that actually needs cooling.
soo….how does the liquid actually cool down? I dont see actual heat fins or any form of a jetplate inside either? Is this liquid under the spell of Harry Potter and just automatically stays chilly 24/7?
U wot m8?
That’s not liquid cooling. That’s just liquid…
“Water cooled”
liquid cooling works because you move the hot liquid to the radiators to cool, and move cool liquid in to take the heat away. without it moving it will simply be a worse heat sink
Looks cool
But don’t work
Can I have some of the millions of dollars you apparently have to blow on this kind of thing?
Why do you have a (Eppendorf?)pipette at home though
What’s the next liquid cooled RAM?
That… That doesn’t do shit. That’s just water. It ain’t cooling shit
Good old Snake Oil
do ssd even get that hot?
Pointless, it’s going to end up retaining heat.
So where is the heat dissipation if it just gets trapped? Waste of money on a pointless item like this….if I had to assume, this post was made by a user that don’t understand how watercooling pc components should work…..
“Hey guys, look at me I bought that ‘watercooling’ component for my m.2 but the heat doesn’t get transferred else where and just stays trapped on top of my m.2 drive”…..
*Hot Pockets*
I would recognize a USA Scientific 200 μL pipette tip anywhere
More surface area makes more sense to dissipate heat, with the thermal mass of the water it will throttle a little less fast than without it, but with the acrylic lid it can´t dump it efficiently.
Thermal conductivity of metal is way higher tho.
