Klevv CRAS C925 2TB SSD Review

Klevv's CRAS C925 comes with an optional stick-on full-width aluminium heatsink, using this in conjunction with enhanced thermal management (thermal throttling) to keep the drive thermally stable. We did all of our testing with this heatsink in place although we did do some testing with the bare drive sitting under one of the motherboard M.2 thermal plates.

The hottest the drive got during our testing runs was 63° C during CrystalDiskMark 8's default Write tests. It averaged 57° C for the bulk of the testing with the 4K tests averaging 53° C. For the bulk of the 4K testing, the drive was consistent in its thermal performance.

Without the aluminium heatsink and just relying on the motherboard heatsink, running the same CrystalDiskMark 8 default Write test saw a maximum temperature of 62° C, just one degree cooler than with the heatsink on. Running the ATTO and AS SSD benchmarks saw the same one-degree difference between the heatsink being on or off.
