Here we go again...
Huh? He asked for support for the fact SSDs use more power. So I answered his question with sources.
What's the issue with that?
Unless you're literally running on sparks and/or charging two phones at the same time, the amperage and temperature tolerances are negligible, even at 4x the rate.
It's pretty common folks might wish to charge 2 phones at the same time, unless you've never got anyone in the car with you.
On top of that, many are using cheaper splitter/hubs that might limit available power on any given port so it'd be relevant there too.
And of course anything using more power reduces range, though I'd agree you're talking about it doing so by amounts that PROBABLY don't matter to most people.
If one needs the storage, SSD is always going to be superior.
Not really.
Besides using more power (which I'd agree is a very minor issue if it was the ONLY issue, though it's still one against not in favor of SSDs), they usually cost more, and come with a shorter warranty too (3 yrs on the T5 SSD for example vs 5 years on some keys/SDcards)- they're also physically larger (and more easily spotted by a thief) and have narrower environmental temp specs.
All in exchange for... pretty much no practical advantage in this use case at all- unless you need a HUGE amount of space (>256GB) for music because really massive SDcards/keys are more expensive once you get that big.
Also the temperature
operational tolerances in the manual do not match the
actual hardware tolerances.

Now THAT is a here we go again
Environmental temp ranges and device operating temp ranges are two different things. Stop conflating them.
Again, the actual manual-

Samsung said:
Use the product in appropriate environment: temperature between 5°C - 35°C
That's the exterior environmental/ambient temps it officially supports using it in.
YOUR link is how hot the operating drive itself is allowed to get (which is obviously always higher than ambient temp for running electronics)
35C is 95F for the metric-challenged BTW.
So according to
the maker of the device using it in ambient temps above 95 F is out of spec for the hardware.
Absolutely it'll probably work fine for a while. Probably a good while, MFG specs are always conservative.
Meanwhile the same maker advertises their SDcards and keys as "temperature proof"
