Micro Connectors M.2 2280 SSD Blue Heat Sink Kit for Enhanced Cooling (NGFFM2-HS803-BL) Review

I only needed a screw and maybe a stand but I wasn't sure about the size. So you can be sure that you will get the right one! Turns out I only needed one screw, but I think it's better to be safe than sorry. I have plenty more if I ever need lol. Very small screwdrivers never hurt.

Although it worked, it was overkill. I needed a screw to install the SSD. Instead I get 10 screws, 10 plastic washers, 5 short posts, 5 long posts and a screwdriver. Don't forget the antistatic bag! Now some metal parts are sensitive to electrostatic discharge? Now I have 30 extra pieces and I have no idea what to do with them.

I don't know why these screws don't fit the M.2 holes on my B350 MSI Tomahawk Arctic as said that these screws are for this mobo brand. I could probably use them elsewhere in the future but am now frustrated having to find the ones that work when I've been waiting for them for days and wasting money on something I don't need right now.

I'm currently using it on 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 70°C idle to 74°C 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…

My son bought a 1TB Silcon Power SSD for an MSI motherboard and no mounting screw was included. That's why we bought this kit to fit screw parts and have a spare for future use. Some of these kits come with a magnetic screwdriver, but not this one. My fault for not paying close attention. It's just a regular screwdriver and it's very small. The mounting screws were also very small, at least compared to the standard mounting screws that came with the original motherboard inside the tower…

First let me say that it's decent value for money. 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…
