Masses of storage. Fast read/write speeds. There's even 2GB of DRAM to help sustain performance. What more do you need from an SSD?

We were very impressed with Nextorage's drive in our review, thanks to its super performance and great thermals. Finding a heatsink-less version is a bit tricky at the moment, so this one won't fit every PC out there.

To heatsink or to not heatsink, that is the question. Okay, that's a silly question, but it's a relevant one in this case. And that's because the Nextorage NEM-PA 2TB is pretty much all the SSD you could ever want. It has very high read and write speeds, and thanks to a large SLC cache and 2GB of onboard DRAM, it can sustain those figures for large data transfers.

So why would you choose the Solidigm P44 Pro 2TB, when its read/write speeds are a little slower and its SLC cache is roughly half the size of the Nextorage? The answer is all to do with where you want to install the SSD.

Gaming motherboards released over the past few years typically sport at least two M.2 slots for NVMe drives and include large metal heatsinks to help prevent the SSDs from hitting any thermal limits and slowing down. While you can use a heatsink-equipped SSD in those slots, you won't be able to use the motherboard's own cooling system.

At best, it'll just spoil the aesthetics of your gaming PC but, at worst, it could also affect the overall storage performance, if those default heatsinks are also used to keep the motherboard chipset cool.

This is where the Solidigm P44 Pro has an advantage over the Nextorage model—it doesn't come with a heatsink already attached to it, making it a piece of cake to add to any motherboard. And if the latter doesn't have its own heatsinks, then you can just go with the Nextorage.
