That tiny fan looks terrible, prob will sound very annoying given how hot these get

:rolleyes:
I don't want an SSD with fan or even heatsink.

1) it's just a matter of time before a small fan starts to rattle and fails
2) if an SSD needs so much cooling, I don't want my data near it

M.2 is such a stupid standard. We need U.2 and U.3 SSD like worstations use.

I never understood why U.2 didn't take off like M.2- much less mobo real estate, better thermals, can use existing hardware to hold 2.5/3.5 drives, etc. Hopefully we see a shift in the future.

Possibly lack of compatibility between U.2 and U.3. There is backwards compatibility for U.3 drives on U.2 hardware, but not vice-versa. It isn't like PCIexp.
