Anyone fancy injecting liquid onto their solid-state drive? The incredible evolution of solid-state storage has inevitably run into an age-old computing problem; pack high-performance components into increasingly small form factors and the need for cooling rises exponentially. The preferred choice for most manufacturers is to equip an M.2 drive with an aluminium heatsink tasked with drawing heat away from the underlying processor and memory chips.

A safe, sensible solution, but it was only a matter of time until someone decided to try something a little more adventurous. That someone is Taiwanese manufacturer Team Group, who reckons the time for liquid-cooled SSDs is upon us.
