M.2 Heatsink Copper, M2 NVMe Laptop Copper Heatsink with Silicone Thermal Pads for PCIE SATA M.2 2280 SSD Portable Enclosure Desktop PC Laptop

I use this to cool the m.2 drive on the back of my motherboard. My case is the fractal ridge and if you have that case you will know most m.2 coolers are too thick which would prevent you from putting the rear panel back on the case. This solves that problem. It’s basically a wafer thin slice of copper, but it does enough to keep temperatures low while under load.

I used this on a Samsung 990 PRO 2TB NVMe M.2 drive in my MSI laptop and after installing and testing there was a huge difference in the temperature. I did however use different thermals. I used the 1mm ARCTIC TP-3: Premium Performance Thermal Pad and cut it to size.I tested with HWiNFO64 to check temperatures and CrystalDiskMark which runs a write and read test and before applying the heatsink I got over 90° when the write speed test was happening so i stopped it as I didn't want to do any damage. After installing the highest I got was 72° but it didn't stay there long and came down quite quickly. After the test it finished it was around 41°, whereas before I applied to heatsink, it was sitting around 61°. I’m quite impressed with this product.

Having upgraded to a 1TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD in my Huawei Matebook D 14 2020, I was concerned about the temperatures reported by Samsung Magician when the SSD was under heavy load - particularly continuous writes.The Huawei Matebook is particularly slim and all the other SSD heat-sinks I found were too tall and prevented the case from being closed. This however, is a strip of 1 mm copper and even with the heat pad and securing bands, it just fits without obstructing the laptop lower cover grill.Importantly, it seems to work very effectively. In normal use, the SSD temperature is reduced by about 5 degrees. Under heavy SSD load, the reduction is an impressive 10 degrees (max 52 as opposed to 62 degrees previously).I consider that a result and I'm rather chuffed!NOTE. Samsung Magician reports an SSD temperature above 50 degrees as 'high'. Over 55 is 'very high' and 60+ is 'too high'.

The flimsy stock one that come with the Alienware x17 R2 are not up to the job of dissipating the heat from the m.2 drives.But these do it just fine and the fit as well !I did add some thermal pads to the top of them to stop them from ever moving even with the bands. And to dissipate some more heat into the chassis.

My SN570 in my laptop usually around 50 degree, sometimes reach to 80 degree when doing heave task and shutdown by itself which make the operating system crash. After use this heatsink, the temerature drop about 10 to 20 degress, which is quite useful. The seller also privide thermal paste in small chuncks, which makes it easier to attach the heatsink on a non-flat surface like SN570.

Definitely creates a much barrier from the extreme heat fitter on my nvme no problem I would say it lowers temperature by at least 10c

I bought a 1TB SSD Drive as the final upgrade to my laptop and to keep this SSD Drive cool enough as to not cause any damage I invested in a good solid copper heat spreader plate, very easy to attach to the SSD Drive will the sticky strips supplied highly recommend this as a safety feature and it looks good. Very easy to install, very quick delivery and a good quality copper plate.

I think it’s good I don’t know which I used due to wastage from my hand if it was bad I would have remembered
