Thermals? SSDs have slowly but surely increased in TDP.

  Flash likes to run pretty hot and we still rarely attach heat sinks, even less often proper heat sinks with fins. There's a lot of headroom. And if your main goal is capacity you could decide to just not run it faster, which will avoid basically all the extra heat.

    Indeed, the flash write endurance is actually significant higher at higher temperatures (I presume because of greater charge mobility) with modern flash. But data retention, naturally, gets shorter at high temperatures and quite a bit longer at low temperatures, and it can vary by orders of magnitude between temperature extremes. Again, I think due to the charge mobility effect.

  That's from controller chips.
