EK Water Blocks, Ljubljana based premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is proud to introduce its first solid-state drive water block - the EK-FC I750 SSD for Intel® Solid-State Drive 750 Series!
EK-FC I750 SSD is a Full-Cover water block for water cooling the Intel® SSD 750 Series solid-state drive. Designed in cooperation with Intel®, we followed the overall look of the original passive cooler and made sure the entire PCB is covered, thus delivering the best possible cooling performance.
The water block features a high flow design allowing it to be easily used with systems using weaker water pumps. The base is made of nickel-plated electrolytic copper while the top cover is made of stainless steel. Screw-in brass standoffs are pre-installed and allow for safe, painless installation procedure.

Enclosed is the additional EK-FC Terminal with two G1/4" threaded ports on the side (right picture below). Customers might need it if there isn't enough space to install the fittings on a regular pre-installed terminal (left picture below).
EK-FC I750 SSD is readily available for purchase through EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network. MSR prices with included VAT are in the list below.
water cooled storage.. man i can't wait to be rich LOL
out of curiosity what are people doing for water cooled m.2 storage? i know i've seen it before and it looked like they are just rigging up a ram block onto it?
1) Do SSD's really get that hot that you need to water cool them, or is this just for looks?
2) Any thoughts on making a "nickle and clear" version so you can see the coolant inside?

Definitely don't "need" watercooling since passive air cooling should be enough except in the most extreme of cases, but yes they can get hot. Sizzling hot even.
The 750 comes with a gigantic heatsink, and as long as it's not sandwiched between two 250W GPUs I imagine it should run just fine.
It's worth it to watercool a PCIe unit given there are less and less fans blowing across a motherboard in a custom water cooled system.
Even more so for the sake of ePeen. RAM really doesn't need watercooling anymore, yet people are still watercooling it for aesthics and Overclocking purposes. So watercooling an SSD isn't going over the top.

That's what I was thinking. I mean now they are passively cooled. I mean if they actually got hot (my 840 Pro's don't even get mildly warm ... yeah, they aren't the same class, but still), I'd figure they'd come with a small fan. But I was just checking.
As with pretty much most water cooling, yeah, it's all about want, not need (like 75 guns). Hence my second question ... about the nickle and clear.
this is a 30w ssd. without airflow it will hit thermal throttle in high I/O load and performance will drop significantly. in a normal 2U server chassis overheating is not a problem because majority of chassis have high pressure fans to cool them.
Depending on your system, it can be beneficial. It could be argued both for performance and lifespan of the hardware. However, for most systems that have decent air flow, this is just for fun and for the "awesome" factor

It is nice though and thanks for bringing it to us EK, for me, I'll buy one when Intel releases the upcoming 8-lane NVMe part that may truly need a water block.
The 4-lane part really doesn't.
EK understands the sexy like no other water company. AquaComputer doesn't get it (popular only in Germany), Swiftech XSPC and on and adinfinitum, no one "GETS US" like EK and understands our need for sexy parts.

The way I see it, this block will be most beneficial for those who want to use the 750 with a SLI GPU system, especially if said GPUs are 250W or more.
The way most mobos are configured right now, for 2 way SLI the 750 *will* get sandwiched in the middle and get pummeled with heat. If you're on the HEDT platform and have multiple slots you could use, then you could move the second GPU closer to the first and spare the 750, at the expense of making the GPUs running toastier.
Of course I suppose once the GPUs are under water the heat problem goes away completely. Then the trick is to make sure there's enough airflow over the 750 so it doesn't get too hot. But yeah for the most part this waterblock will just be a want.
I am still considering getting one of these SSDs. I have a ton a 480gb 730 series (I think 22 total) and I have been wanting one of these for quite some time. I know I wouldn't be happy with a 400GB drive though, I would need a 1.2TB and when they are less than $1K I will get one. Nice that I actually have some pcie lanes to spare now too. That there is a waterblock from EK is just making me want it all the more.
