Cooling
The Corsair MP700 Pro SE 4TB also has an adhesive seal on the back that can only be removed with loss. If you want to keep your warranty, you should leave the sticker on and not disassemble your toy. However, the label on the front is rubbish. It doesn’t cool, even though a kind of “graphene” pad is used on the inside. The two layers of adhesive on the inside and outside completely negate the advantage, as it insulates rather than conducts heat. In addition, the adhesive can only be removed with a heat gun, which is borderline for the modules and the controller without any underfill.
Let’s take a look at the area inside the label that I removed the adhesive film from and yes, most of it is carbon, plus some kind of polymer.
I screwed on a large cooler with three heatpipes, used pads from Fujipoly (it doesn’t get any better than that) and deliberately did NOT connect the air whisk in order to level the playing field. The cooler from Graugear can also be operated passively if there is even a hint of a breeze in the vicinity.
Temperature behavior and power consumption
The measured temperatures in idle and light operation (e.g. while gaming or working in the office) in explicit, passive mode without an extra fan nearby are quite ok. It is important to note that the controller always gets hotter than the NAND, especially under real load. This is less likely to occur when gaming. Either you use workstation applications or you clone an SSD or stream to this SSD at maximum resolution in the video studio. Then it will get a little warmer when used as a target medium.
The temperatures in the case (Fractal Meshify) are even slightly lower than in the open setup because the fans in the case still produce sufficient airflow even when idling without CPU load. In the open setup, after more than an hour of continuous load and without ventilation, it sometimes went up to around 65 °C, but you have to provoke that first. This time we logged with HWInfo64 and our own K-sensors. The Corsair SSD could certainly have run cooler with a different cooler, but the temperatures are still quite good. With the fan activated, we are below 50 °C, but the noise… No, better not.
The temperatures naturally result from the power consumption, which remains moderate in idle mode and only rises to up to 9 watts under medium load and around 12 watts under full load. Peaks during cloning can reach almost 13.3 watts, but this is rather an exception. The data sheet and measurements are therefore consistent here.
