Thank you for reaching out with your inquiry about using Western Digital Red SN700 NVMe SSDs with your Asustor AS6704T NAS.
Using the WDS100T1R0C NVMe SSDs in your Asustor AS6704T is a solid choice. The WD Red SN700 series is specifically designed for NAS environments, offering reliability, endurance, and performance suitable for storage-intensive applications.
Regarding the use of heat sinks, while Asustor does not explicitly require them for the WDS100T1R0C SSDs, using heat sinks can help maintain lower operating temperatures, which can contribute to prolonged SSD lifespan and sustained performance. NVMe SSDs can generate considerable heat during intensive read/write operations, and heat sinks can mitigate thermal throttling and ensure consistent performance.
There are nowadays NVMe coming with a heatsink glued to it. If you want that.
