It's been decades since I did hardware engineering, but electronics components come rated/tested for particular temperature ranges. 0-70 is one of the standard industrial ranges. I would not be terribly surprised to find out that somebody just said that all of the components are rated 0-70, so we'll rate our SSD at 0-70 without actually worrying about how it's mounted, what sort of air flow, whether that's the temperature of the room, or of the components. If your office hits 70C, then whether your SSD is still working would probably be the least of your worries. I also suspect that with power dissipation etc. it would be happy quite a bit below 0C, happier than you would be if your office were below 0C. > -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
