Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Micro Connectors M.2 SSD 5mm Low-Profile Heat Sink: PS5 and PC Compatible (NGFFM2-HS804-BK) โ€“ Black by Gary Shakeone

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent heatsink but probably works better with active cooling nearby

I'm currently using it over a Samsung 870 EVO Plus NVMe m2.2 2280 1TB drive. This SSD runs HOT, especially on the case/computer I installed it on. It's a 100% passively cooled NUC-like device, with the entire body acting as a heatsink. Without the heatsink, the SSD reported temperatures ranging from 70ยฐC idle to 74ยฐC active at the maximum ambient temperature for the box. With the heatsink installed I'm now seeing around 67C idle and 72C active. So it helps a little. I think it would help a lot more if there was some sort of passive cooling nearby to move some of the hot air around. The radiator feels HOT. I hope these silicone bands will withstand the heat and not deteriorate.

Pros
  • Supports an M.2 SSD 2280 length
Cons
  • Slightly dented
