Performance throttling due to overheating is one of the major factors that limits the performance of solid-state drives (SSD) in general but impacting external SSDs in particular. Few of them can sustain speeds beyond 1.5 GB/s. While fans mitigate the problem, they are not particularly reliable, so instead of equipping its new Pro Mini external SSD with a fan, Iodyne equipped it with two of Frore's AirJet Mini Slim solid-state active cooling devices that combine performance and reliability. The result? Sustained 3 GB/s performance under high workloads, just like Frore demonstrated at Computex.
