SN850 vs SN770 at same price

If power savings and low heat are really important to you, skip the SN770 altogether and go for the SK Hynix Gold P31.

Otherwise get the SN850. ASPM will mitigate idle power consumption and heat issues slightly and if you’re not pushing the SSD hard anyway it won’t really have occasion to get too hot or consume much power. You will benefit with hibernation.
