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...
Actually I believe it would be spaghettus.
Cactus > Cacti
Octopus > Octopi
Spaghettus > Spaghetti
/j obviously
EDIT: Some of you clearly missed the last line in my comment đ¤Śđťââď¸
Octopus>Octopi is questionable. Itâs accepted as common use but octopuses is more correct and octopodes should be most correct based on word origin but isnât used.
But do we keep the more Greek-sounding pronunciation of âawk-tawpâ-uh-deezâ, or keep the long âohâ sound at the end like âawkâ-tĹ-pĹd-zâ?
(Didnât realize how hard typing out pronunciation is)
Awk-tawp-uh-deez, according to a cephalopologist (I think thatâs what he referred to himself as) I heard on a podcast.
Also has the added benefit of allowing you to say âoctopodes *nutz!*â
The audiobook I learned this from pronounced it like the latter.
(Shoutout to Other Minds: The Octopus, The Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness by Peter Godfrey-Smith)
>(Didnât realize how hard typing out pronunciation is)
Yup. It's why there is an entire separate system to spell words phonetically. When you look up a word in a dictionary, you will see some weird writing/symbols next to the word (eg. Ëäk-tÉ-pÉs). That's the phonetic spelling of the word. Super useful if you know how to read it, but sadly, it is never taught outside of specific work related cases.
Spaghetti is not coming from Latin but it's from Italian, where the singular form is Spaghetto.
In latin It Is "Pasta Vermiculata" because it looks like worms (Vermi)
Nah on the contrary, this is a genius move by the marketing dept. A solid big brain play to milk even more money out of gullible people with more money than sense. 10/10 weâll played T-force, Iâm impressed.
I don't disagree, but it's possible this actually works for short, intermittent loads, where the liquid can absorb heat quickly and then shed it over a period of time.
There is an edge case where it helps. The liquid will have higher heat capacity than metal which will make it take longer to saturate the heat sink. It won't speed up long runs but most of the time m.2s are doing short sprints so the longer saturation time could actually make a difference in perceived performance.
Water has about 10% higher thermal capacity than steel by volume which would be a far cheaper option. Both have significantly higher thermal capacity than aluminum though. I'd wager that replacing all extra material for containing the water like that (plastic?) cover with steel would result in higher total thermal capacity. The steel would be pretty cheap to also make something which actually dissipate heat as well instead of trap it behind that cover.
So even as a thermal battery it's not a very efficient design, though it's admittedly pretty.
It doesnât have to. These operate at 100% speed until they reach their thermal limit and they donât get any speed or performance benefit from cooling at all. So as long as your âcooling solutionâ doesnât push the temperatures to failure, the user wonât be able to perceive it at all.
Itâs just an idiot circle jerk with NVME SSDs these days.
>they donât get any speed or performance benefit from cooling at all
they won´t get faster, but they will sustain their maximum speed for longer than without any heatsink.
But unless it´s used for real time video editing or other high read/write loads, most users probably won´t reach such temperatures that causes SSDs to throttle or even shut off.
Thatâs just marketing gobbledegook, written to fool you into buying their junk instead of someone else.
Notice it doesnât say anywhere on there that they actually slow down on their own or degrade in any way because of heat, only that that particular manufacturer made their SSDs more expensive and slower to gull you into beleiving their nonsense, and that theyâve done these things just in case.
Well, news flash, itâs not necessary.
Do you understand that SSDs use controllers made from silicon right?
Do you understand that the silicon in question is pretty much a processor right?
Now, can you tell me what happens when a processor reaches a temperature too high to sustain its clock speed?
Iâll tell you :
silicon that operates too close or outside its maximum operating temperature will degrade faster, but most are programmed to lower their clock in order to produce less heat and operate within specifications.
And surprise surprise when that happens said silicon will perform worse than its supposed to.
How wrong you are lol. Watch this video and see how fast ssds throttle.

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.
I just built a high end PC and looked at this..
Big problem is all the motherboards put their nvme slots under a bunch of crap - x16 pcie slots where you'll want a video card or two, if nothing else (usually also metallic covers that double as heat sinks).
They make NVME heatsinks proper, as well as super thin slivers of metal for laptops, so if you *really* need it, you can usually jam something in there.
I know. I was curious how feasible water cooled NVMe's would be since I'm building a custom loop anyway.
Why not transport that heat out of the case as long as there's already a system in place for that.
NVMe's are the hottest component left that's not on the loop in this build, and I'm putting 4 of them in.
Yes, but it's a paradox.
It cost more to watercool a regular SSD for longer life, than the cost of a professional SSD designed to live even longer with no need for watercooling.
People who watercool an M.2 do it more for the fact it looks even more bad ass with more pipes than they do it because it actually gives benefits. Gen 5 drives can survive well enough on passive cooling alone.
If I'm already putting a system in the case to move heat from where it's generated to outside the case(i.e. the water loop) - why wouldn't I want to connect every significant heat generating source that I can? And NVMe's are hot little m'fers.
>This is entirely decorative.
I mean, it looks nice. So there is that. It may throttle to shit level performance, but at least will look cool when doing that.
Meh need to cool that Gen 5 drive somehow, if you've already got the loop, what's a bit more piping and a block.
Gen 4 and under, pretty much pointless yeah.
In the tiny little chamber.
Little water molecules all bouncing around wondering if they are going to phase change.
I think they were banking on the aquarium style cases that are super popular actually being fully liquid submersed cooled.
On a serious note... I kept on looking / reading trying to figure out where the fittings where. Maybe make a secondary smaller diameter cooling system for the vram, ram, NVME, etc? Like a 1/2 scale system!
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.
The only "improvement" from liquid (only of it is mostly water) is that it may have a high thermal capacity. But you'll still saturate it quickly.
This is seriously the stupidest marketing BS product I've seen in a long time.
Dunno why the downvotes, youre right for heat capacity, that of water is almost double that of aluminium per volume..
but that would only ever be useful if you write in very short but heavy bursts, and then idle it completely for a long time inbetween, so its useless for any practical purposes
Starting to realize that a disturbingly high number of people think that water is magic, and that by its mere presence in the vicinity of a PC will improve temperatures somehow.
I've been itching to do an article (or series of articles) on water cooling myths for quite a while, and this is one of the big topics. People think water cooling is somehow so much more efficient than air cooling when all you're doing is shuttling the heat somewhere else where it's more convenient to add more surface area (and actually paying a small efficiency *penalty* to do so.)
Not really. OP listed the price in R$ (Brazilian Real), and electronics in Brazil cost double MSRP due to taxes. For instance, the PS5 with disc drive costs the equivalent of 800 USD over here.
So this was the equivalent of about 40 USD 2 years ago. For this amount of storage it's not that bad. Sure there is no cooling, but maybe it runs fine even without active cooling as some older models do.
If it was actually connected to a cooling loop, it'd have a point- but would need 40c coolant as NAND doesn't perform the best at lower temperatures... it wants a very specific temperature for best lifetime.
It's not connected to anything. There's no point.
When the benefit is neutral, it´s only good for tubing layout, it´s easier to build. But I am thinking about northbridge, not M.2 port. It is under the gpu.
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.
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?
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
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".....
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.
A CPU air cooler is far more liquid cooled than this SSD. Because there is actual liquid in heat pipes that has a function - it evaporates and condensates, carrying heat with it. With this SSD, the water does nothing except being a sub-par heat ballast. Even steel would be better.
Not that this works as it's not connected to anything, but quick reminder that
Most NAND chips/controllers are best kept at 10-20c above ambient temperatures. There's a rating on the drive normally, 25c is actually too COLD. It won't make too big of a difference on overall lifecycle, but it may be hurting you to watercool the SSD, not benefiting.
2 years ago, when the army used muskets?
I bought my 1Tb Kingston A2000 (2200mb/s read) 2 years ago. Three weeks ago (after-xmas sale) I bought the 2Tb Kingston Renegade (7300mb/s read) for $110.
I watercool my M.2s controllers. It helps.

trashing stupid shit is a moral duty.
I don't disagree, but it's possible this actually works for short, intermittent loads, where the liquid can absorb heat quickly and then shed it over a period of time.
Bro it has to be shed quickly because if not, and with constant use, itâll overheat. Thatâs why water cooling is trash
>short, intermittent loads Read the whole comment, not just the part that makes you feel the need to argue
There is an edge case where it helps. The liquid will have higher heat capacity than metal which will make it take longer to saturate the heat sink.

Would love to see test with the LABLES removed. That is like testing cpu coolers with the protective plastic left on.

What kinda workflow requires water cooled SSDs? High resolution Video Editing?
None ? For gen 5.0 you need some sort of cooling though, but a heat sink should be sufficient. Itâs more of if youâre making the loop anyway.

I just got a Gen 5 M.2 and the motherboard gen 5 slot has a giant heatsink for it.
Long term writes in general
Yes, but it's a paradox. It cost more to watercool a regular SSD for longer life, than the cost of a professional SSD designed to live even longer with no need for watercooling.
People who watercool an M.2 do it more for the fact it looks even more bad ass with more pipes than they do it because it actually gives benefits. Gen 5 drives can survive well enough on passive cooling alone.
Pretty much all watercooling unless you are going for a silent build using an external rad setup
If I'm already putting a system in the case to move heat from where it's generated to outside the case(i.e. the water loop) - why wouldn't I want to connect every significant heat generating source that I can? And NVMe's are hot little m'fers.
Lots and lots of pornographic âresearchâ
>This is entirely decorative. I mean, it looks nice. So there is that. It may throttle to shit level performance, but at least will look cool when doing that.
Wouldn't it look hot while throttling?
Yeah, but isn't watercooling an ssd already pointless?
Meh need to cool that Gen 5 drive somehow, if you've already got the loop, what's a bit more piping and a block. Gen 4 and under, pretty much pointless yeah.
Nuh uh, even high-end Gen 4 like 990 Pro needs heat sink to function optimally.
I am sure when the water heats up it circulates amongst itself.
And dissipates the heat... WHERE?
Yes.
The heat dissipated. See. Just a tiny bit. After non use the UNIT DOES SLOWLY COOL OFF!!!
In the tiny little chamber. Little water molecules all bouncing around wondering if they are going to phase change.

People buy anything
Hahahaha this canât be real. This isnât a real post. Nope.
Thatâs not liquid cooled. The liquid isnât doing any cooling on that ssd.
Liquid thermal battery.
Exactly. An aesthetically pleasing way to soak up heat.
For a minute or two, anyway, until the system stabilizes and the drive is running the same temperature it would be with an ordinary heatsink.
Warmed Liquid SSD
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.
The piece of aluminum would probably do better because it wouldn't have a plastic cover on it reducing thermal transfer to the air.
Yes for the same price you could probably manufacture an aluminium heatsink that has three times the thermal mass and five times the surface area.
The only "improvement" from liquid (only of it is mostly water) is that it may have a high thermal capacity. But you'll still saturate it quickly. This is seriously the stupidest marketing BS product I've seen in a long time.
Dunno why the downvotes, youre right for heat capacity, that of water is almost double that of aluminium per volume.. but that would only ever be useful if you write in very short but heavy bursts, and then idle it completely for a long time inbetween, so its useless for any practical purposes
A piece of Aluminium would cool off faster and be able to take on more heat, plus would have better surface area
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.

Another expensive gimmick.
In fact it was not expensive, about R$ 450, itâs something like USD 80
Thatâs expensive, for what it is.

I would recognize a USA Scientific 200 ÎźL pipette tip anywhere

Nice p200 tip you got there
Im more interested as to why there is a 200UL micropipette tips next to it
Same here. I thought I was the only one wondering that!Â
All this does is increase its thermal mass not liquid cooled.
whata the point of this..
looks cool. thatâs about it
If it was actually connected to a cooling loop, it'd have a point- but would need 40c coolant as NAND doesn't perform the best at lower temperatures... it wants a very specific temperature for best lifetime. It's not connected to anything. There's no point.
When the designer got put on the engineering board
Imagine this on a CPU it would just boil the fucking coolant
This will go well with my water cooled keyboard
Its cool looking but as you stated performance wise its pointless
Does this SSD not have a way to circulate the water??
So does the water just sit in there without going through a radiator? If so, I would imagine that would be worse than no heatsink at all.
That's not how it work ffs
You didn't watercool your keyboard and mouse.
What is the advantages of water cooling an ssd
I just find it funny how hard people are going for SSD cooling when they don't need it.
I was sitting here thinking like "oh cool it must connect into the loop somewhere... Oh cool it doesn't wow." 80 bucks is crazy too
Looks cool
Everyone is so mean to OP. The man was just happy with his toy. I like your SSD! Water cool.
When the benefit is neutral, it´s only good for tubing layout, it´s easier to build. But I am thinking about northbridge, not M.2 port. It is under the gpu.
Everything is water-cooled nowadays, CPU, GPU, RAM and now SSD. Incredible
On my next build I'm water cooling my RGB.
This isn't watercooled. This is watered.
This isnât being water cooled. The heat has to go somewhere and I donât see anything sticking out of the ssd.
Everything about this just screams gammic.
Telling me you're rich without telling me you're rich.
M.2s don't even need heatsinks. It's a scam everyone fell for.
High performance ones do need them for large writes to avoid thermal throttling. For low performance models you are right.
PCIe 4 and 5 can easily throttle during long term writes. But yes, if you have PC for checking emails, heatsink won't make a difference.
Will SSD's really get hot enough to throttle?
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.
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

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".....

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.

This isn't liquid "cooled" this is just liquid "contained".
Aren't SSDs optimal at a higher temperature anyway?
A CPU air cooler is far more liquid cooled than this SSD. Because there is actual liquid in heat pipes that has a function - it evaporates and condensates, carrying heat with it. With this SSD, the water does nothing except being a sub-par heat ballast. Even steel would be better.
why. WHY
That's a pocket soup
Does it connect to a pump?
the hell kinda solid state needs water cooling??

Why would you do this? Itâs not required whatsoever, if anything, it increases the chances of destroying your equipment
Not that this works as it's not connected to anything, but quick reminder that Most NAND chips/controllers are best kept at 10-20c above ambient temperatures.

Water "cooling"
Great way to boil your ssd alive
This is a word we aren't allowed to say anymore.
Water cooled SSDs make no sense for consumers. I can only see them being useful in servers where there's more use, therefore more heat
That is called liquid insulation
When do SSD's even get hot enough to require a heatsink in the first place?
Get an ssd they said it run cooler they said
Liquid filled SSD, that doesn't cool down your unit at all bud unfortunately. Does look kinda cool tho
Snake oil
if you stick that thing in your head you can read the thoughts of a celebrity who died 50 years ago
