I need a new SSD for my laptop and the P5 Plus, KC3000 and sn770 are almost the same price, are these good options?. thinking about power consumption and temperature what SSD would be the best fit? How much does the ssd actually affect battery in normal usage as I've seen conflicting information online.

All three of the SSDs you mentioned are capable of providing fast and reliable performance, with the Crucial P5 Plus, the KC3000, and the SN770 offering different strengths. Power consumption and temperature will be very similar on all of them.
The Crucial P5 Plus has a maximum read speed of 6600 MB/s, making it a great option for gaming and other high-performance applications. It also has a 5-year limited warranty, providing peace of mind.
The KC3000 offers high read and write speeds, with the larger capacities (2048GB and 4096GB) offering up to 7,000 MB/s sequential read speed and 1,000,000 IOPS random read speed. It also has a 5-year warranty, and its power consumption is relatively low, with a 5mW idle power consumption.
The average power consumption and temperature of a Gen4 NVMe SSD can vary depending on several factors, including the specific SSD model and its components, the type of workload being performed, and the thermal design of the system in which it's being used.
In general, NVMe SSDs consume less power than traditional hard drives and are relatively energy-efficient. During normal usage, a Gen4 NVMe SSD may consume anywhere from 5-10 watts of power. However, the exact power consumption can vary greatly depending on the SSD model, the type of workload being performed, and the conditions under which it's being used.
The temperature of an NVMe SSD can also vary depending on the conditions under which it's being used. During normal use, an NVMe SSD should remain relatively cool, with temperatures ranging from 30-60 degrees Celsius. However, high-performance workloads and high-temperature environments can cause the temperature of an NVMe SSD to increase. It's important to keep an NVMe SSD within its recommended operating temperature range, as temperatures outside of this range can negatively impact performance and longevity.
The SN770 is a solid choice for those who want a fast and reliable SSD, with a maximum read speed of 5150 MB/s and a maximum write speed of 4900 MB/
