This Product is a Meme - Corsair MP600 PRO Hydro X water-cooled SSD

[@LinusTechTips]

Additional info for nerds about 2:20 courtesy of Nystemy on the forum: "Coming in really quickly here to inform why there is differences between keeping the Flash warm or cool. When one writes to a Flash memory cell, then the device creates a fairly intense electric field across the insulation surrounding the floating gate making up the cell. This forces some electrons to get trapped in or ripped out of the floating cell (depending on what the manufacturer thinks is better, both technically works.) But each time this is done, it adds a bit of damage to the insulation, making it less good at stopping current from flowing through it. The Flash cell is in effect just a fancy low leakage capacitor. And the faster the charge leaks out from it, the faster it forgets. (And for DLC ("MLC"), TLC, and QLC cells, it forgets even faster due to the smaller charge differences it has to deal with from the get go.) But how does operating temperature play a part in this? Well, the insulation simply has higher leakage when warm, and doesn't need to break down as hard when that current is forced through it. But likewise, the warm temperature has the deficit that the insulation also leaks more current, so the cells forgets faster. In short. If you want to put the drive on a shelf for 10 years, then keep it cool. If you want to use it as a scratch disk for a storage/computing server, then keep it warm. And if you use it as something in-between these two extremes, then it is a bit more of a mix..." Anyway, have a good day and the LTT Forum is awesome -Alex

When I worked at Nokia, we were experimenting with 3D chip stacking and had a combo NAND/DDR package mounted on top of the CPU, effectively working as a heat spreader. Under normal conditions this was fine, but in double-precision FP workloads, we'd see a thermal hotspot in the CPU and observe periodic bit flips in the memory/flash package directly above. We worked around this in production by dynamically clocking down the CPU to stay within thermal tolerances, but there are certainly valid use cases where cooling NAND is essential.

Once the consumer market shifted to demanding BT+wifi and large touchscreens, sustaining either of those was no longer possible. In those days, even finding any supplier that could provide ~10million high resolution touchscreens per month for a mass-market phone was a challenge. Nokia was, somewhat amusingly, actively engaged in litigation with half of its supply chain at any given time, but still sourcing from them, as there just weren't any other options! Crazy times.

I'd argue that a case with proper airflow keeps anything on the MB cooler because air is moving through the whole case. Test benches might subject VRMs or SSDs etc to less airflow.

A test bench doesn’t provide any airflow buddy, because there isn’t a chamber to direct air, air flows anywhere it wants. That doesn’t happens with a case, cool air in, hot air out, constantly.

[@HoosierHardware]

I feel like it's also worth noting that building a custom water loop will keep your SSD cooler in that slot simply because those high heat components will then be dumping their heat into radiators instead of the air right beside the SSD. On the bright side though, for the cost of the fittings, this is an easy integration into a custom loop, so no harm no foul for Corsair I suppose.

[@KunalVaidya]

very good point. its just a little extra compared to normal air cooled heat sink style, and it give a great option for those who already have loop to plug this into. I think the pricing itself should be lauded. they gave an option to users (mostly gamers) who have a water cooling loop and didn't charge them an arm and leg for it

Basically you don't need a water cooled SSD, cause in normal use you'll never put a load on it, that will make it thermal throttle. If you'll somehow manage to do it, by writing absurd amounts of data on it constantly, then your drive is going to die in days, anyway, so a $500 SSD is a waste of money, for that particular use scenario. The extra cooling simply won't help in any way, aside from making it run a bit faster through the days it has to live, that is. There's no harm in watercooling an SSD, but there's just no benefit, either - it's not like it'll boost higher, or allow better O/C. It will definitely run cooler, but realistically you'll never really need it to.

Next: Water cooled cooling system (water cooled fans, water cooled radiators)

[@Reverend_Salem]

you wouldn't need water cooled fans, you could use the water as a working fluid to spin the fans, you would need a beefier pump and compleatly custom fans, but even with a watercooled fan you would need custom fans.

[@dousha99]

Well, I have some news for you... they are real. There are fans that have water loops in them. By adding cold water to them they would act as air conditioners. Radiators work by running hot water inside them. Not exactly water "cooled" but you get the idea.

[@8draco8]

Can you water cool literally every part of a build? Maybe you’ve done it before, but it would be super entertaining and interesting to see a complete build with literally every part water cooled

[@sxnthwave]

I mean for aesthetic purposes it could give you more options in terms of custom looping. It’s probably more useful as just a looping add on than it is for cooling

[@Gainn]

Might be worse in a full loop with other components dumping heat into the water too..

I had a very tiny air-cooler on an M.2 once. It did reduce it from like 50 C to maybe 45 C. The PC form factor was very non-standard, so it was helpful. Edit: I also once just added a few random tiny heatsinks to one before, which was also nice. I ended up ripping the flash off when I tried to remove the heatsink.

To me home water cooling has always been about aesthetics over performance. If you’re in a ac cooled room and have a remotely reasonable fan setup/case, it’s not really going to make a dramatically noticeable difference in terms of actual usage and not just measuring numbers. But it looks sweet, and adding another component to the loop might just make it look a little sweeter.

If it only takes a few days to reach write endurance it would be really cool to see how much temperature really does affect the lifespan.

[@KunalVaidya]

basically, if you already have a custom water cooling setup chilling your CPU and GPU, then get this one too. it's just a little bit extra and but improves the ssd controller temperature which is surrounded by heated parts such as CPU, GPU, VRMs in a case. another comment said "no harm no foul" absolutely. on its own it sounded gimmicky but if you already have a loop then add this too, it will only improve the situation.

I have a water cooled system where two 3070's also run through two 980 pro 2tb nvme drives and through two 360mm rads. The drives we're 86c before and now are 42c after cooling them under load. I enjoyed building the entire thing to be honest. It's a fun project for me. The card mine ETH and ssds farmed chia plots at first.

[@Sandriell]

Water cooling doesn't really work that way. This is why loop order does not matter for thermal reasons.

[@SterlingRobertson]

@@Sandriell you not answering the correct question. We know the order of flow doesn't matter but type and amount of hot items vs rads sure does.

[@BobfromHolland]

I work at WD with ssd testing. Our 2.5” drives need contant (fan) cooking at all times. Still they get to 100-120F. Our M.2 drives have massive cooling blocks on the controllers, otherwise they’d die almost immediately (this is enterprise/server hardware, not consumer). But yeah, they run better at lower temps and last longer. For some of our largest drives (16TB+) water cooling would not be a bad idea as the controllers run overtime

[@triynizzles]

I would really like to see a video where they let the endurance test run the full four days and see if the drive dies or what happens after it exceeds the write limit

I know it's a bit long after the video was posted, but I bought a couple 30mm PWM fan cooled SSD Heatsinks for 2x Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSDs (1TB and 2TB) -- with no heatsink they were at ~70-80 peak, with a passive heatsink the one below the GPU was at ~70 and the one behind it was at ~76. My system uses an AIO CPU cooler, but they're apparently known to run hot even in fully air cooled builds. Now, the 1TB behind the backplate caps around 60 and the 2TB in front of the GPU fans caps around 50. The 2TB is set to 50% fan speed (around 5000 RPM) and the 1TB is set to 75% (around 6500.) Actually a really big improvement for a dangerously high temperature lol, highly recommended if you have an SSD throttling itself all the time like I did. Worth mentioning, I also have an Intel branded SSD that maintained around 45 under the GPU with no heatsink, and is around 35 with a low profile passive one.
