Yowzers, all that performance with 7-Watts max?! Western Digital has another winner on their hands. This would make "regular" M.2 drives with normal passive heatspreaders them viable again.
7W is okay-ish (sort of) for a M.2 SSD form factor storage device. The speed is impressive, of course, but I'd rather sacrifice quite a bit of performance in the name of less power consumption and thusly less heat concentrated on a relatively small PCB. 2W worst-case under full load would be ideal.
Do you live in a fantasy world or something? What's with this unrealistic expectation? 2W for 15GB/s? Are you drunk or watt mean a different thing in your world?
there are various products that fit various speed tiers and power consumption peaks, nor is the more costly pcie5 required to likely max out the speed in a 2w power envelope, yet you insist on trolling products in a different tier that the majority of people wont buy and add weasel words to never fully admit a higher perf higher power higher cost product is 'okay'
I recognize you've been trying to be noticed by me for a while now so I'll give you a little something, I suppose - Yes, it could be PCIe 4 or 3 and that'd be okay. I don't think companies are as interested in developing new products for older interface standards. Since a lot of computer parts buyers are silly enough to fall for dragon or girl pictures on boxes (or construction equipment, military-related things, etc) they're more included to purchase things that also feature newer standards in their marketing bullet points as well.

Agreed that is looking very nice.PeachNCream - Thursday, August 8, 2024 - link

It's probably a good idea to read a little more carefully before posting.kn00tcn - Saturday, August 10, 2024 - link

No, he is pointing out that 2W SSDs already exist on the market. Stop being obtuse, my guy.
