[Hardware]This SSD is 4 times faster than any on the market (and it doesn't burn)

[Dean Ambrose™]

Cooling in a PC is one of the most important parts that we can never leave aside since it can mean the end of the useful life of some of its components such as the graphics card or the processor. But, in addition, it can also cause significant problems for PCIe 5.0 SSDs when working at full capacity.

If our equipment is compatible and we want to buy a PCIe 5.0 SSD, all manufacturers, in addition to the unit, include a heatsink to keep the temperature of the unit always controlled, especially when it is working at full capacity, a problem that, at the moment, does not exist. There is a simple solution in sight.

Taking into account the temperature problems that force the use of a heatsink in this type of units, Micron, the manufacturer of storage units and other components, has carried out a test with 4 Crucial T700 2 TB units and, although everything indicates that it was a firefighter's idea, in the end it was not like that and the team did not go out on fire along with the 4 Crucial units.

8 TB SSD at 40 GB/s
The Crucial T700 SSD has a maximum read and write speed of 12,000 Mb/s. The guys at Micron have joined 4 Crucial T700 drives in RAID using the Gigabyte AORUS Gen5 AIC adapter that allows you to connect up to 4 PCIe 5.0 SSDs and offers a transfer speed of up to 60 GB/s by making slight modifications by replacing the integrated cooling system in This adapter (5cm fan) by AirJet Mini cooling technology from Frore Systems company.

AirJet Mini is an active cooling solution capable of dissipating up to 5.25 W of heat generating only 21 dB. In addition, it has very low consumption, only 1W, making it an excellent solution for all types of compact devices, whether laptops, SSDs or even mini PCs.

The result of joining 4 Crucial T700 SSD units offers an average read and write speed of 40 GB/s with reading speeds of 45 GB/s and 42 GB/s writing speeds. These were obtained using the Iometer measurement system.

AirJet Mini kept the temperature controlled at all times while the measurement test was performed. Of the 4 Crucial T700 units, two reached 78 degrees while the other two stayed at 76 degrees. This device mounts on top of the copper diffuser already included in the SSD and one was used on each of the Crucial drives used for testing.

In addition to the excellent performance in terms of speed and cooling capacity, the most striking thing about this test is how quiet it is, since it eliminates the need to use a fan that, no matter how quiet it is, always generates noise. The Gigabyte adapter modified to carry out this test includes a 5 cm fan that is responsible for cooling the 4 SSD units that we can connect.

As we mentioned at the beginning of this article, the adapter that Micron has modified to carry out this test is a concept, so it is possible that it will reach the market as long as there is sufficient demand from the most demanding professions, not for just anyone. ordinary user.
