🔥 Sabrent M.2 2280 SSD Rocket Cooler Heatsink (SB-HTSK) Review

The heatsink looked like it was a premium product (as to be expected with $20 hardware). It was actually easy to install the M.2 drive into the heatsink as described in the instructions that came with the product. However, the supplied mounting screw (used to install the drive in the MB) was not long enough to reach the MB. I tried a screw from my previous M.2 SSD and it was also too short. The mounting edge on the heatsink is too high from the bottom of the bay. I could order locking screws…

I thought it would be pretty easy to set up and use, and for the most part it was easy. The problem is that I have an EVGA Z390 FTW motherboard and for some terrible reason EVGA makes screw stands for their SSD mounts for smaller diameter screws than any other motherboard manufacturer. In short, the SSD bracket will not fit an EVGA motherboard without a special M2 screw with a length of about 6-10mm. It's not entirely Sabrent's fault, but it was also a little odd to see that they didn't test…

I bought this to add an NVME drive to an outdated motherboard that didn't have an onboard M2 slot. Pros: - Great price and very low profile so it fits in even the smallest mini-ITX I've tried it on. While the front of the SSD contacts the TIM and then the large external heatsink, the bottom of the SSD has the TIM's pad on the PCB. and then place another tim between the board and the outer shell. Some of the solutions I've used before have a thin metal shell that attaches to the heatsink…

I bought a Sabrent 1TB drive without a heatsink and later learned that you MUST have a cooling unit if you want to use it in PCI-E 4.0. So far it has been very easy to install. The instructions were clear and concise, easy to follow. It's solidly built, much heavier than I expected. I believe that not only pipes are made of copper, but also aluminum for heat dissipation. Works well so far with no problems. Look at the photos to see the size and the area I had to trim the backplate (slightly…

Pros:++ The packaging was excellent. (Everything is firmly fixed in the foam.) ++ Processing of the heat sink. (Nothing looked cheap or felt cheap.) ++ Temperature dropped from 75°C to around 55°C ++ Easy assembly and installation ++ No real installation problems Cons: - The supplied screw is too long. (The SSD with heatsink was loose after installation.) - May interfere with your motherboard depending on the type of motherboard and your drive. - Overall: Everything was well packaged and the…
