Results: SSD temperature
The designers have really gone all out with the CLR-M2XL cooler. Some of the details are really surprising for an SSD cooler, but you can see a clear intention – to squeeze the most out of the available material. Finding a more powerful model than the CLR-M2XL in the current offer among passive SSD coolers will be very difficult, with a better price/performance ratio probably impossible. Despite the superior cooling performance, Axagon held back on pricing.

Flattr this!
I’ve read from a few sources that a relatively low SSD memory temperature can actually hurt the longevity of SSD, so I would personally stay away from the “best” SSD coolers that bring the NAND temperatures during idle to very low levels.

This heatsink is designed for a disk used as a buffer. But good point. I have disks cooled by massive 3 cm heatsinks (more massive than the reviewed) and their idle temperature is definitely not below 30°. But I also have low airflow in the case.
