I know that managing the airflow in the case will keep them cool, but that heat has to go somewhere and I’m trying to minimize the PC becoming an additional big heat generating device in my small office (which gets hot during summer). It this really that big a deal in terms of the expelled heat.
According to https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-970-Evo-Plus-SSD-NVMe-M-2-Review.397171.0.html (first link I quickly found) it uses at most like 6 watts. For comparison, many CPUs can use more than 100 watts, many GPUs even double that. 6 watts is peanuts - and regular SSDs use some power too, so the power is nothing to worry about.
