Storage expansion on Rog Strix Scar 17 X3D 2023 laptop (8Tb NVME SSD suggestions?)

Sp1d3R1
Level 7

Hi there.

I'm thinking to add a second SSD into an empty slot.

I'm choosing between Corsair MP600 PRO NH 8TB PCIe 4.0 (https://www.corsair.com/ca/en/p/data-storage/cssd-f8000gbmp600pnh/mp600-pro-nh-800gb-pcie-4-0-gen-4-...)

and 

WD BLACK SN850X NVMe SSD - 8TB (https://www.westerndigital.com/en-ca/products/internal-drives/wd-black-sn850x-nvme-ssd?sku=WDS800T2X...)

But I heard these SSD can run pretty hot under load. I don't plan to use it much write operations (99% of the time they will be read only)

Does someone here has experience using that large drives with this (or similar) laptop model? How hot it runs, any trottling issues? Do you use thermal pads with it?

Thanks for your help!
