Review on Western Digital 1TB NVMe SSD: Gen3 x4 🔒 PCIe, Up to 3,500 MB/s, M.2 2280 - WDS100T3B0C by Stanislaw Szudek ᠌

In general - the drive is yes, HBME with all the consequences - the most pressing issue is overheating . and according to my observations - if you put games there and play from it, then it lives quietly without a radiator at 50-60 degrees and can completely do without without additional cooling, it's another matter when there is a constant load on it - when copying, for example - there, yes, there it already begins to go into those boundaries when cooling would not hurt. All of the above is true for a large and medium-ventilated case in some miniITX thread, I would not risk running it without a thick heatsink.
