Perfect for Playstation 5

I would definitely recommend this heat sink over any other for internal ssd installation in Playstation 5. I've seen some of the other heatsinks available for the Playstation 5 but there is much less of a chance of damaging your ssd while installing your ssd in your Playstation 5 with this heatsink. Price is reasonable and less than many others on Revain. Installation for me was a snap and I encountered no problems. Works perfectly with my WD Black SN850 SSD.

Pros
  • Worked for my PC motherboard was able to fit under my graphics card
Cons
  • May not fit in smaller PC cases

Fits in NR200 case 10/10 Recommended

This heatsink barely clears the "back" side panel when closed for the CoolerMaster NR200 case, assuming your ITX motherboard has a rear m.2 slot. Its not the most slim option but it's slim enough for my application and the price wasnt bad either. Its dropped my m.2 temps over 14C which made it almost as effective as the front m.2 slot that has a pre-installed heatsink (Asus X570-i)

Pros
  • Went together well and fit in ps5 with a Crucial SSD.
Cons
  • Didn't cool down my drive.

Just about perfect for an rtl-sdr-blog v3 dongle

I was getting a little nervous about how hot my rtl-sdr-blog v3 dongle was running so I started looking for heatsinks. I know that's not what this device is designed for, but it's actually not a terrible fit and definitely does dissipate heat from it. I put 2 on mine, one on each side and it feels noticeably cooler to the touch.Now the heatsink is slightly too long. If you put the side with the notch on the RF input side of the dongle and line up the flat side flush with the USB side of the…

Pros
  • Looks and works well, nicely priced
Cons
  • Only compatible with M.2 SSDs, limiting its usefulness for other components

I bought this recently and after i bought it noticed several reviews claiming that this item is too big , having to compress heatsink too hard , not allowing room to put the outter shield that is on the ps5 over the drive once installed.Let me tell you , every single one of those reviews you read are either people not understanding how to put it together or they done something wrong. I used this on a Samsung 980pro and i did NOT have to compress it hard to fit. I simply followed the…

Pros
  • Firecuda and this work great
Cons
  • No entra bien en la ps5

PS5 Compatible good for me

I purchased this unknowing if it would fit in the PlayStation 5 "m.2 area". It turns out to be a perfect fit. Buy with confidence.

Pros
  • Great for the price.
Cons
  • May be difficult to install properly in PS5

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product for the PS5

Used this with the WD black SSD. Fits nicely so that the cover bay closes without any issues. Highly recommend May need to replace thermal silicone pad periodically to maintain optimal performance.

Pros
  • Fans & Cooling
Cons
  • May need to replace thermal silicone pad periodically to maintain optimal performance

Alienware Aurora R13

Got this for the stock 1TB hard drive. It seems to match pretty good with the other black heat sinks that came on the mother board. The installation was not too hard but the strips were a tad bit longer so I cut a very small piece off from both strips it came with. Also make sure to take off the sticker from the hard drive to make the heat pads work better. Helps lower the heat a bit and probably gives the hard drive more overall life.

Pros
  • Very easy to install and put together
Cons
  • May not fit all PS5 models

Works Perfect w/ PS5

This Heatsink is very easy to install on a Samsung 980 Pro 2TB M.2 memory stick. The thermal pads stick really well and it clears the cover on my PS5 perfectly. It's a very reasonable price compared to buying the M.2 w/ Heatsink as a package deal.

Pros
  • Added 1tb. SSD to my PS5.
Cons
  • May not be necessary for PS5 with adequate cooling

Works great to fit inside the PS5.

I have used 2 of these with a WD Black and a Sabrent SSD for the PS5 and it works perfectly to fit inside the PS5 as an extra hard drive.

Pros
  • Heatsinks
Cons
  • May add extra steps to M.2 SSD installation process

Good customer service

Is this worth the money?mave? Maybe, not. However…there s a s what my son wanted I.e. needed. So…worked as intended. Red color may clash with other color themes in PC builds!

Pros
  • Designed for desktop PC/PS5
Cons
  • Red color may clash with other color themes in PC builds

Does the job good for me

Bought it in black so my WD-Blue ssd would blend in with the rest of my build. Does the job, and so far seems to work in keeping the drive cool as well.

Pros
  • Works great
Cons
  • May not fit all PCIE NVME M2 SSDs

If you can’t here the snap. . .

The items were overly presentable; thumbs up for that! The downside was not hearing the ssd snap into place (with the heat sink). It may be that the dimension is not giving enough breathable space for the teeth to attach into the PS5 socket (Samsung 2TB Pro). Only have the base and silicone inside without the top. Nevertheless, Samsung has thermal tech to provide overheating. Maybe you don’t need a heat sink?

Pros
  • Didn't fit in my portable so couldn't use it
Cons
  • Limited availability may make it difficult to purchase

PS5 Compatible good for me

Adding my M.2 drive to this heat sink was pretty strait forward and easy to follow the directions. And as the headline says, it fits perfectly in my PS5

Pros
  • Easy to Install
Cons
  • May not provide significant temperature reduction for high-end M.2 SSDs

Did the job for my ps5 ssd

Keeps sad cool for ps5 the adhesion on the silicone or whatever it is wasn't the best but it's all held together with screws so not a big deal

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • May be difficult to remove once installed

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything you need included.

Easy to install, added bonus is that it comes with the unique screws, risers, and screwdriver to install an ssd drive on your system board.

Pros
  • Thermal Pads
Cons
  • May add bulk to already space-constrained PC builds

Works perfect for ps5 2280

PS5 COMPATIBLE. Checks all the boxes the pros say you need in a PS5 HEATSINK. I did what I call a "BURN TEST” where I disabled all auto off features on ps5 played a video game from the ssd expanded storage for hours and let it stay on and running the game until the same time the next day. Flawless performance during my very scientific study.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • May interfere with custom water-cooling loops

PS5 fits great easy install

Installed in my PS5 and it fits flush and very easy to install great price too all in all i recommend this heatsink for your PS5 memory upgrades.

Pros
  • It works
Cons
  • Application of the thermal silicone pad can be tricky and may require extra effort

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great with PS5

Fits perfectly with the PS5. A bit tricky to install because the thermal pads are slightly bigger than they need to be, but nothing that a pair of scissors can’t fix.

Pros
  • High Performance
Cons
  • May not fit in laptops or other portable devices

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks good. Seems to function well.

It looks good. I like that the screws holding it together are black. Other brands I looked at has silver screws, which I didn't think looked good with black heatsink.

Pros
  • Easy installation, gives me comfort knowing my data isn't getting hot.
Cons
  • May add extra noise to PS5 cooling system

Easy to install - my new review

Quite easy to install following the instructions. You may want to double-check the small curve for the screw is matching the right side of the SSD. Learned my lesson by putting it wrongly at first. But it is also super easy to get it off and re-attach to the ssd.

Pros
  • Main body material
Cons
  • May be incompatible with certain motherboards or PS5 models
