Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

I didn't install a thermal pad. Because the drive is installed in metal sleds with a heatsink, and they are in close contact with the metal of the case,
temperature, in case of large heating, I will feel it on the piece of iron immediately. Therefore, I decided to drive it first and see the results. I did not see any problems with high heating of the drive (I stuffed a Netac N930E PRO 1 TB into it) in 2 months of operation. Used in the car as a source of movies, music and audio books. Sometimes as a temporary storage warehouse for a DVR. When reading, it seems to me that it doesn’t heat up at all, and when writing files for a long time, the case, to the touch, is just warm, no more. Speeds within reasonable limits of the performance characteristics of the chassis and SSD interfaces. I didn't see throttling. Therefore, bother with the addition of gaskets has not yet become.

Pros

Good case for M.2. Installing an SSD in it is no problem. Everything is easy and simple. the disk is inserted into a metal casing-sled with a semblance of a radiator, and that, in turn, is screwed to the board and fits tightly into the case. This means that the thermal exchange with the storage device will be normal. The kit comes with everything you need to assemble the drive, including a thermal pad.

Cons
