GLOTRENDS M.2 Heatsink for 2280 M.2 SSD, Fit for PC/PS5/PS5 Slim Installation, 22x70x3mm Aluminum Body, Including Thermal Pad (2 Packs)

GLOTRENDS M.2 Heatsink for 2280 M.2 SSD, Fit for PC/PS5/PS5 Slim Installation, 22x70x3mm Aluminum Body, Including Thermal Pad (2 Packs) :It works and is easy to install. I can scrap SSD if your too quick , so recommend taking it slow, but there do not appear to be any contact on the board edge. Feel that having metal clips alleviates fear of rubber bands decaying over time.

Easy to install and not overly large or bulky

Heatsink works great with the included bands. I tried the metal clips since they wouldn't have shorted anything out on my ssd, but they were bending the ssd a lot. I never really did any temperature tests as I just installed it on a new ssd.

These come with the thermal heat pad, the useless rubber bands and the very nice stainless steel clips you should use instead. Remember to arrange them so they clip around the back of the SSD with the sparingly feet out front on the heatsink. If you put them on the heatsink then clip them around to the SSD the small clip surfaces can scratch the SSD coating and damage the traces beneath. The heatsinks are low profile, 3mm high, which is ideal for use in tight spaces and 1U servers for example.

I upgraded to a QNAP TS-262 NAS and initially installed SSDs without heatsinks. During the initial data transfer, my SSDs and HDD were running so hot that they failed. I had to manually set the fan to 100% to keep everything cool. The first heatsinks that I ordered were too tall to fit the chassis, so I returned and ordered these. Now not only do the SSDs run cooler during normal use, they consistantly are cooler than my HDDs! I returned the fan to 'Performance' mode and everything has been fine for a week. Definitely a great buy if your home NAS is running hot!

Easy mount and run through for most NVMEs. If you get an NVME without a heatsink, in many cases you may not need it - well-ventilated cases can help. But if you're running hot video cards nearby, or if you are running a faster NVME, a good heatsink can make a difference in performance before your drive throttles speed and you lose performance and durability of your drive

A super simple solution that reduces heat on your m.2 drive. This comes with two sets of heat sinks, pads, and cleaning wipes. However, the wipes were both dry even though it states one was to be wet. These used to clean the surface of oils to create the best contact between the drive and the thermal pad. There is no adhesive on the pads of course. The pads are the 3mm thickness. They are not squishy, so i feel they don't make the best contact that they could if you have squishier pads. Nice metal clips. Good quality bands.My drive was idling at 62 degrees Celsius, as the drive sits right above the video card. So, the heat rises from the card and makes the drive a bit warm. After installation, the Idling temps are now at 34 degrees and full operating temp peek at 47 degrees Celsius.Was very simple: clean the surface, place thermal pad down, place heat sink on thermal pad, clip on, and install drive back into my PC.

I got this for a WD Black M.2 Gen 4. I was getting pretty high thermals--in the mid-60's C on an SSD that had a maximum safe operating temperature of 70 C. It didn't come with its own heatsink, so I grabbed one of these. Installation was crazy easy and, once I popped the M.2 back in, temperatures were reliably under 55 C. I have not seen it go over 60 since I bought it, even with pretty intense loads. Very good buy, can recommend.
