ADATA Technology has recently unveiled a groundbreaking line of cooling solutions for PCIe Gen5 solid-state drives (SSD) during the Computex 2023. The solutions are designed to address the challenge of managing the high degree of heat generated by high-performance SSDs. The newly launched cooling solutions from ADATA include Project NeonStorm Gen5, LEGEND 970 Gen5, and SE920 USB4 external SSD. Among them, the Project NeonStorm Gen5 SSD is the first in the industry to introduce a liquid- and air-cooled heat dissipation design on an M.2 SSD. The LEGEND 970 Gen5 SSD features a dual-layer aluminum alloy heatsink and fan, with a surface crystallization coating to improve thermal conductivity. Meanwhile, the SE920 USB4 external SSD has a built-in micro fan to quickly discharge heat, activated by extending the retractable casing. To keep the SSD cool, the cooling solution requires a dual-system design featuring both liquid and air cooling. As the heat rises off the SSD, it passes through a metal heat spreader to increase contact area, and is conducted into the liquid reservoir, where heat energy is absorbed by a high thermal capacity coolant.
