Apparently TDP is 30 watts¹, according to the product brief. I would imagine it's a single PCB with flash chips on both sides then thermally bonded to the aluminum chassis. That should keep all chips at approximately the same temperature. On its own it could be easily air cooled, but with 24 in a 2U chassis you'll be having some decently hefty forced air over the drives.
1. For comparison, an HDD usually comes in around ~10 watts
- cyberax 5mo agoGiven the cost of 24 of them, you can probably buy solid silver heatsinks watercooled with tears of sysadmins.
- rbanffy 5mo agoI was going to say blood of virgins, but tears are probably better heat conductors.
- ciupicri 5mo agoI tempted to say that blood is better one. Among other things blood has iron, while tears just salt. Last, but not least it's for thermoregulation of the body.
- snovv_crash 5mo agoIf we're evaluating blood and tears for cooling, I'd argue that sweat is significantly better as a renewable resource, and also specifically adapted towards evaporative cooling.

- roygbiv2 5mo agoThe tears of sysadmins are fairly cheap though.
- MrDrMcCoy 5mo agoIt may be the only resource that truly scales with demand.
- trvz 5mo agoIt's not just a single PCB, but a sandwich of several.
