Review on πŸ’» Micro Connectors M.2 SSD 5mm Low-Profile Heat Sink: PS5 and PC Compatible (NGFFM2-HS804-BK) – Black by Jimmy Hargrove

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Worked as stated. But.

First I would like to say that the price-performance ratio is right. Definitely easy to install. The liability exceeded all my expectations. It was definitely stuck to my Western Digital SN 850 2280 M.2 NVME SSD used in my Playstation 5. It has now definitely prevented the SSD from getting the overheating error I had with a bare SSD. I tried to transfer 7 files/games from main system to this WDSN850 M.2 SSD. it definitely helped the performance in general. I don't have numbers, but I can confirm that I overheated during the beta test of the Playstation 5 operating system from 2.0 to 3.1. After attaching this radiator, it disappeared. He did his job with a small problem. That's the size. Now that I could install and reattach the Playstation 5's case covers, I wasn't able to cover the NVME M2 port with its factory cover, which was just a thin, flat piece of metal. It was fully functional as a heatsink, but it stuck in my mind that my PS5 was missing a part of itself, so I had to take it off and get a matching one. A review of this item will be posted after additional testing. It offers good value for money and is very easy to install on any system, including the PS5. this is the default setting. But the heatsink plate turned out to be very sticky and difficult to remove from the SSD. Why is it so tight? I couldn't tell you I installed several different heatsinks and they were all pretty easy to remove, not this one. If you want it there, it stays on the included ties, mainly to help it snap into place before it sticks. I would buy it again for another project just not "my PS5". However, if you can live without having to return this piece of metal, you can definitely use it on your PlayStation 5. However, I have mild OCD that has compelled me to replace it.

Pros
  • Including heat-resistant silicone rings for attaching radiators
Cons
  • Very expensive
