My computer case is of Aluminium and earthed to a domestic copper water pipe. , the casing of the Samsungs SSDs seem to be anodized aluminium. Since my computer case is old it has no provision for 2.5" SSDs I have them resting on an aluminium surface. Is this a problem? I assume the SSDs have internal insulation. Google "Icy-Dock-EZ-Fit-Lite-Dual-2-5-SSD-HDD-Mounting-Kit-Bracket". I've had one installed for years; two SSDs in a 3.5" bay; plastic, easy to fit, solid and secure, lots of mounting holes for screws. Ed |

Love your replies. And you are right - years of experience don't always prove expertise. I'll wait to see your posts when you bork your system again following advice that has a lot of technical gee-whiz babble but no real solution is offered. -- Bob S. |

They are only a few dollars each and will let you install the SSDs in 3.5" drive bays. I wrapped one in bubble wrap and stuck in a 3.5 bay. Do they get hot? I don't know for sure, but if they do, what you did could start a fire. They run cool. Check specs. on one, they only draw under 2-4 watts for the size I use. Probably depends on how many chips/capacity one has. For the record, what's been "printed on the tin" of SSDs is just plain wrong. There is at least one web site, which has done measurements on a variety of models, which gives more realistic numbers. The site would open a box that said "200mW" on the outside, and find a healthy 2-3W draw instead, during sustained write. What's wrong with the "printed on the tin" value, is some marketing bunny decided to print the "devsleep" or other pointless numbers on the outside of the box. Like some badge of honor. When in fact, we want the "continuous read" or "continuous write" value, or high power state values, to decide how to handle the devices in various situations. The 2-4 watt value is a good estimate, first of all. There are some Sandforce ones up around 7 watts. That power number would not be sustained forever, but on a sustained write, it might be. The power might be coming from the data compression solution those controllers use. The ability to attempt to compress a full-rate stream, is pretty damn impressive. It's gotta use some power. One reason for needing to know the SSD peak power, is when the SSD is on a USB conversion cable (tether). This is why I measured the power on my SSDs and they all seem to be compatible with USB2 ports, if I use a converter. A USB2 port is good for 2.5W long term, 5W short term, and so a 7W SSD being "cloned over" on an SSD port, has the possibility of opening the Polyfuse on the motherboard, in mid-transfer. A second reason for needing a decent high-power-state value, is for laptops. Where the laptop bay is an "insulating" design, and from previous experience, only 5400 RPM drives "survived" in the completely-uncooled bay. A Kingston (Sandforce) drive might not be the best choice for such an application. Once an SSD is inside a desktop, there's no power engineering to do in there. If you're not cloning on a tether, but just cabling to the internal SATA cables, you'll be fine no matter what it is. Leave one exposed surface, so the small amount of heat can escape. Like, don't build a styrofoam box for it. There are some PCI Express ones that draw 15W. Again, not an issue, as they're open on both sides. And if the controller on those is a hot spot, it'll have a heatsink. What about using a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter in a 3.5" bay? Paul |
