That is true right now, but if future (PCIE gen 6+) drives get faster (which they will) they will probably require more power until a more efficient controller comes out for those drives,
I don't foresee PCIe 6.0 coming to consumer platforms any time soon. Although it doesn't increase the clock frequency, it
does require a higher signal-to-noise ratio, which increases board costs.
IMO, we're likely to see CXL first. If & when that happens, maybe client devices will
eventually get PCIe 6.0 / CXL 3.0, which share the same PHY standard. That's a long ways off - I think the next generation of server CPUs don't even have those technologies, yet.
My point is that the trend has been somewhat worrying, we went from not needing any cooling (or very little) for PCIe 3 and 4 drives to now needing active cooling for some PCIe 5 drives.
Yes, it's not a good trend. However, SSD performance has been increasing a lot faster than power consumption. If there's a pause on performance improvements, then efficiency can (mostly) catch up.
