Question Need to find a high power NVME 11w or more if possible.

[drahcir_rahl]

I know, the request sounds odd but I dont see a way to search the Tom's HW test results in a way that would be easy.

For testing purposes, I am looking for a NVME with the following min specs.
PCIe Gen 4
Any capacity
Any size(length)
11w or more
m.2 M keyed
Speed > 3500MB/s Read 3100MB/s write

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Why does it need to be such a high wattage? Most M.2 drives are less than 10W. Even data center drives don't use that much power.

Because unfortunately people do manage to find products that hit 11w. If I recall correctly from the m.2 M key spec I pulled last year the spec calls for 12.5w as a max.

I do some testing on portable/handheld products covered by NDA but basically trying to find retail products that will be problem children as most portable devices may not be built to handle the full potential of a power hungry NVME.

In the past people have managed to come up with DRAM cached NVME that manuf spec show as 8-11w which seem to coincide with BSOD, and when replaced with lower power devices things stabilize.

If you have specific testing requirements, such as this then you may have to build your test hardware.

Playing around with Gemini, I posted your exact question and generated this response. Note, only two of the four SSDs meet your 11W requirement.

Like all LLM provided responses, you will need to do more research. This does demonstrate that you can narrow down, to some extent, the results to meet your needs.

Looks like the Crucial T700 4TB can it the 11W requirement. Otherwise the Optane P4801X 375GB hits the wattage but is only PCIe 3 and doesn't hit the speed requirements.

Alternatively you could use an M.2 > U.2 converter and use a drive like the P5800X series
