# SSD

SSDs generate heat from the controller, NAND, DRAM cache, and power circuits in compact form factors. Excess heat can trigger thermal throttling, reduce sustained performance, and shorten service life.

Thermal interface materials (TIMs) create low-resistance heat paths to heat spreaders or housings to: ① reduce controller temperature and prevent throttling; ② maintain stable read/write performance under continuous workloads; ③ improve long-term reliability in 24/7 operation.

Overview

## SSD (TIMs) Solutions

SSDs generate heat from the controller, NAND flash, DRAM cache, and power circuits—especially under sustained read/write workloads. Excess temperature rise can trigger thermal throttling, reduce throughput, and shorten service life.

Thermal interface materials (TIMs) create low-resistance heat paths from key components to heat spreaders, heat sinks, or housings—reducing hotspots, improving sustained performance, and enhancing long-term reliability.

Benefits

## SSD Thermal Materials, Built for Sustained Performance

**Reduce Controller Hotspots, Prevent Throttling**

Efficient heat transfer from the SSD controller helps maintain stable throughput under sustained reads/writes.

**Gap-Filling Contact for Slim SSD Stacks**

Conformable TIMs bridge tolerance stack-ups—lower thermal resistance and consistent performance across builds.

**Long-Term Reliability in 24/7 Workloads**

Options designed for thermal cycling help reduce aging and support long service life in continuous operation.

**Custom Die-Cut Pads for SSD Form Factors**

Custom thickness and shapes for M.2/U.2/PCIe cards—rapid sampling to speed qualification and production ramp.
