Part of the purpose of a burn test is to see how it handles temperature under load. We didn't have the option of adding cooling, many of the product installations took place in a hot climate, and nobody wanted to pay for a hardened part...

Anyway, my point is that SSD drive reliability varies wildly

Nvme does, SSDs as in sata doing this burn test will probably work fine
