Yes, the ssd controller basically has double thr output of data each pci-e generation. The rate as well as the power consumption required to run at those speeds dump a lot of heat.

Do PCIe 5.0 drives just put out that much heat?
I know a lot of boards have the m2 slot under the GPU, no way this would fit.

Doesn’t it look like it’s for PCI express?

Idk what you think those drives are made of.
Definitely not SATa or IDE.

If, and that’s a big if, this becomes a trend, then we’re likely to see the m2 connector locations on the mobo change (at least the primary lane connected to the CPU).
But to your point, this definitely won’t fit under a GPU lol
