I'm aware that these new PCIe 5.0 NVMe drives chuck out a fair bit of heat. I should hope these are bundled with a cooling solution.

Fyi you're listing the write endurance of the old 1tb model compared to the new 2tb model. Seagate has unfortunately regressed in their write endurance with the new model, yet again.

Comes with a brick made of aluminum some cooper heat pipes and headaches. Stay on gen 4
Who cares honestly, as long as it's not active cooling it's not really very inconvenient although tbf, with such a small performance improvement over gen 4 drives, it should not be consuming that much power.

Under Durability, there is a misleading info.

Firecuda dropped endurance not increased it as it shows. Endurance was huge seller and going from
530 2TB @ 2.600 TBW to 2000TBW and 530 4TB from @ 5400TBW to 3.949TBW that is big no no at least for me.
