U.2 SSD case suggestion

[Dorian]

Hello,

Too bad you removed the small gap in the "D5-P5430 U.2" shell allowing air to pass between the SSD shell and the PCIe card to cool the SSD. If you look at the D5-P5316 U.2, air passes when screwed against the PCIe card.
Making just a 1 or 2mm gap is a good idea, in the opposite direction of the connector, just like the D5-P5316 without the little squares in the middle. The fans in the front of the case blew the air inside this space and the temperature decreased.

Also offer you the E3.S format which has very good heat dissipation, so I'll start on that now, and forget the U.2 format. It would be great if you create an E3 compatible card for the motherboards PCIe x16 slot, you would have exclusivity.
