Is this enterprise SSD with high idle power suitable in a desktop?

I’m considering getting some 1.6 and 6.4 TB Ultrastar SN260 drives. The upside is they’re pretty cheap compared to U2 and M2 drives at the moment, somehow. Also, they have great write endurance, 3 DWPD.

The biggest downside to me is the high idle power of 9W. I checked several other enterprise SSD and they’re all about 9W. According to this datasheet, # flash chips doesn’t change it much. _kingston.com/datasheets/SEDC1000M_en.pdf

I’m a little worried about adequate cooling. I’ll be putting this in a NZXT H510 case, with 4 case fans, and 2x Xeon 8259CL CPUs (for a build server). I don’t check the fans that often, so they could seize up.

I saw a similar question, but the comment about the cooling solution canceling the $10/TB savings is not relevant in this case. The saving is more.

Any other reasons to not get SN260? I realize for the purposes of running gitlab CI builds, the speed is overkill. But I might occasionally sneak in an IO intensive task like building Android.

From my own testing with modified WD Velociraptor-Heatsinks, cooling can be an issue.

What worked for me is to stick Fischer SK 47 Heatsinks on both sides with thermal tape (pads and zip ties would also work)

I forgot to mention, I’m talking about the PCIe add in card version of SN260, which already has a heatsink on the front, but none on the back, where some NAND and DRAMs are. So can’t add that 200x100mm heatsink. Also, that reinforces the idea that the NAND chips themselves don’t get hot.

I guess my worst case question is, if all the case fans fail for a few months, will there be a high chance of data loss or damage to the card? The desktop is in an office with ambient temperature of ~70 F, but could be warmer during weekends when AC is off.

You can stick a heatsink on the back, used to be done on aftermarket GPU coolers too.

If you can use some cardboard/ducttape/3d-print to direct air at the built-in headsink, it will be fine.
