Great for a case with cooling, but not for a laptop

I've noticed that Samsung Evo NVME drives work better without a heatsink. Putting a heatsink on one of these initially gives you a sustained speed boost or two. But then your heatsink is actually working against you because it doesn't boil as fast as an NVME drive without a heatsink - performance with a heatsink is much worse. Samsung clearly states that their drives offer their own thermal management.

Pros
