If one thing is clear from Computex 2023, its that PCIe 5.0 SSDs are finally making it to market, and that water cooling is going to touch every part of our PC builds in the future, as evidenced by the two coming together in this awesome water-cooled SSD prototype shown off by XPG.
The PCIe 5.0 SSD, called the XPG Project NeonStorm, is a PCIe 5.0 x4 SSD with a read/write performance of 14,000 MB/s and 12,000 MB/s, respectively. That's great in itself, but the real appeal of this SSD is the extruded water cooler. To be clear, this isn't a pumped cooler as you get with the AIO coolers for the best processors and best graphics cards.
