Review on M 2 Adapter Aluminum Heatsink Solution by Laura Turner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good performance: computers and accessories

Good so I gave 5 stars for cleanliness. Whatever that means :) It was a little tricky getting the bracket protrusion behind the MB when inserted into the PCIe slot, but otherwise easy installation. My new M.2 drive works great after initializing. After reaching the advertised speed (Photo 3), the Samsung EVO 970 M.2 installed in the MB's M.2 slot has similar speeds (Photo 4) for comparison. The rubber bands for attaching the heatsink are a bit flimsy, but other heatsink kits use these two, sometimes smaller ones. Docked the star because it was difficult to install the strut. Still less than 10 minutes, and because the red disk activity LED is bright and distracting in my RGB glass setup. I wish I could turn that off. I recommend.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Fits
