No, I didn't see any in the product specs or data sheet. I have checked NVMe cooling solutions before and sincerely you can skip that part.

NVME cooling has proven to increase drive performance especially on PCIE 4.0 drives (under heavy loads). As the drive will throttle or stop after 70C or 85C depending on the drive.

What do you mean by that? With what software? Intel RST is exclusive to its own platform and the other solutions such as PrimoCache and StoreMI will also have their own limitations, PrimoCache being the one with more versatility and most likely, you can use it to configure an external device as a cache, but if I assure you this I would be lying, it would be a matter of trying to check if it is compatible with external devices. I guess it does... 

The firecuda laptop line up uses onboard flash to improve drive performance, I was wondering if this nvme slot had any special implemtnation. (I guess not)

obviously an SSD will load a game much faster than other machines that use HDD but that would be the biggest benefit, that games installed in an SSD will have a shorter waiting time to open them but that's it.

The video games are no heavy load for any storage device

Well you just said it yourself, most modern games have awful load times on HDDs. If the OS is also on the same drive you can experience stuttering ingame as the game (not all game) is waiting on the disk (due to other requests from the system).  $349.99 can get you atleast 2tb of SSD.

...The endurance or reliability of QLC is inferior to that of its predecessors, so you may think it would be appropriate not to give them intensive use like gaming,

intensive? but lot a heavy load? which one is it XD

What it has is the slot for an NVMe M.2 SSD.

Not sure what the NVMe has anything to do with the rotational speed of the hard drives. According to Tom's Hardware's article it says the 4TB inside runs at 7,200RPM. This got me curious as majority of large capacity HDD such as 4TB runs at a much slower RPM, due to being used for storage, where speed isn't a priority. So I looked it up on your website and found Barracuda Pro is the product line that offers large capacity drives at 7200RPM. The other is IronWolf Pro, but I doubt you guys will use that for this product, it's a different drive designed for a different purpose.

It actually is a 4TB Ironwolf Pro.  I have the dock and love it.

No RGB?? No deal? Nowadays nothing works without RGB.

 

And HDD in 2020?? At least give us Sata SSD.

 

BTW, being sarcastic.

Its RGB.

You're replying to a thread from...... 2019. That is hardly relevant anymore.
