Review on M2 Heatsink Cooler 2280 SSD Double-Sided Heat Sink With Thermal Silicone Pad For PS5/PC PCIE NVME M.2 SSD Silver - SEO Optimized by Stephen Ball

Yes, you can install your PS5 SSD slot cover

Great value. Perfect size for the PS5 ssd slot, allows you to replace and screw in the metal cover for the slot. Someone mentioned having to trim the included heat transfer pads, but that wasn’t my experience - they were the right size in my kit. Easy enough to install, just take your time and be sure to compress it as much as possible before you screw it up tightly.Don’t listen to the people that tell you it’s fine to operate the PS5 with that slot open and without the cover… the PS5 cooling system was designed in a specific way that allows air to flow through it. If you introduce a big 1 inch by 6 inch hole (that the manufacturer specifically tells you must be covered when you install an SSD) the system is then being asked to operate in a way in which it was not designed and could (theoretically) shorten the life of your PS5. At very least you’ll be introducing more dust in your system.Suck it up, get rid of any chunky heat sinks, spend the $8-$10 for this item and close off your PS5 slot properly.
