Review on Ineo M.2 2280 SSD Rocket Heatsink with Internal Cooling Fan [M3] by Larry Blanco

Completely eliminates thermal throttling and lowers the max temperature to 40-45C when writing at full disk speed at 3GB/s and I have the same results when encrypting disks. These are 2TB Sabrent TLC drives, and they ran at the previously advertised maximum temperature during encryption and other long, high-speed transfers, with a base temperature of 32-33C inside the case. For anyone wondering, the other Ineo -Model runs almost fine too. If you don't encrypt drives or do a lot of large file transfers, or 5-10C on the Sabrent TLC 2TB doesn't bother you, their other model works just fine too and you can close the performance gap with something from Noctua. Thermal paste into the chamber in which the heat pipe rotates when the halves are unscrewed, at your own peril and risk of course. The actual heatsink is slightly larger, but has the benefit of being able to be moved to a position where it doesn't get in the way. This one performs slightly better due to the solid aluminum, as the fan directs airflow through the fins on it, and because the two heatpipes are spaced apart, it sucks in more heat faster than the other Ineo m. 2-plate's single large heatpipe. Radiator. None of them take up as much space as they look in the photos, but they are large enough to effectively dissipate the heat they handle. I'd recommend getting higher quality thermal pads as the ones that come with them are fine, but if you're going to get this far with cooling you'll definitely want to get higher spec thermal pads. Make sure you know if you have a single sided or double sided drive, both will fit either model, but you need to know what type and quantity of thermal pads you need when shopping for better ones. Also note that a piece of thermal padding may be needed to align the bottom if it's double sided or has another chip on the bottom, which it shouldn't, but I've seen it anyway (manufacturers and designers I suspect get creative to circumvent the scarcity). None of this is a problem for people using the included thermal pads as there are plenty of them. The bottom shell is actually adjustable, so be sure to use some force when tightening the screws. Also remember, especially when adjusting the angle of a different model, that heatsinks in your computer are more exposed bare metal. So turn off the power and discharge the capacitors as instructed by your motherboard and PSU manufacturer, usually by physically unplugging the power cord and then turning on the power button and pressing the start button, wait 5-10 seconds and then press the start button and repeat this several times after you don't see anything trying to activate. I also needed the contact side of the actuator to stick out a few millimeters so the assembly could be screwed in properly. This really confuses me as it suggests the disc has gotten shorter somehow. If Ineo could solve this little physics puzzle, not only would I think they would win a Nobel Prize, but we could all buy physical and therefore memory-sized devices that are much larger but fit into smaller square footage and have a 2.5-inch SSD or even have a full 3.5 inch nvme hard drive shipped in the mail then being able to plug it into an m.2 slot would solve a lot of problems with ssds in general but it would also just be fun.
