We'll likely learn more about how efficient these drives are early next year at CES 2024 or not long after. So if you're not keen on a PCIe 5.0 drive due to fans and bulky coolers, you might not have long to wait for better options. Just don't expect them to be cheap when all signs are pointing to SSD price increases next year.

How long until these M.2 SSDs get their own SATA power connector?

Seriously. I'm just wating for a 3,5" form factor SSD where most of the chassis is cooling and inside it's just a 2230m.2

it's just stupid... i don't need lights and fans on the SSD... i need it reliable and cheap and staying cool under workload.

At these speeds it's like asking a CPU to run cool under workload. Your options are:

Active cooling

Slower speeds

Transistor breakthrough
