Very interesting. I thought I left a comment in the 951 review cause when I read it it clearly shown that 951 is firm-temp-aware! You did the passive and active cooling tests showing some throttling when 80º (79) were hit.
This is actually very interesting because I haven't seen comments in any site I usually read (ssdexperts, techpower, anand and toms) about this issue.
It could be a very very interesting article, and a new topic, to use a couple of benchmarks several drives (from m6e to 750) in passive vs. active cooling behavour.
There very few scenarios of a "consumer" day to day tasks that would be affected by this issue that is:
- Large zip generation
- System backup
Others tasks like game or programs (now apps, god knows why) installation are not performed daily, also it is not usual to move large sets of pictures or music files.
Video editting would also be affected, how macbook pro users will handle a 80º hard drive while edditing their stuff in quicktime?
When it comes to pro, well, that throttling is actually a problem, for sure, because there are lots of scenarios where large volume of data is moved for a long period of time (it looks like reach top tempes in less than 6 minutes average). I wanted to move a couple of workstation to the nvme world (C600 chipset), but disks will have to be actively cooled.
