NVME M.2 Heatsink SSD Heatsink: Graphite Covered Pure Copper Heatsink Thermal Pad for 2280 NGFF M.2 SSD Laptop PS5 (70x20x2mm)

Works like a charm…. Fits great in tite spaces easy install fit in my rog ally z1 extreme with 2280 perfect solved my over heating problem used 2 silicone pads for both sides as it sits on the moboard.( not included ) only one

Did the trick in my NAS enclosure, where having nothing greater than 3mm in height was crucial. I'm a little concerned about the adhesive. Because gravity will be pulling against the heat sink along the long edge, and I had no problem sliding the heatsink around on top of the drive. What wasn't quite clear was, what was moving and where. Perhaps it'll stiffen up with heat? Not too concerned because there's not much space for it to go anywhere. Time will tell. So far so good.

This was a solid buy, it was easy to install …except for the small rubber bands. They’re so tough to stretch! As you can see, I used some angled pliers to get all three of them over the drive and heatsink. I accidentally scraped some of the coating off in the process, but you can see the heatsink is indeed copper. That’s a good thing! I’ll likely buy this heatsink kit again in the future. Good product.

I have an 8TB WD SN850X I bought for my new GPD Win Mini 2025. The device doesn't have the best cooling, with cramped internal space. The SN850X got consistently hot enough it was reaching high-70 degrees, and occasionally the 80 degree limit, when under load. I put this thing on the drive and it seems to have reduced the temperature under load by about 10 degrees, with it hovering in the high-60s and occasionally reaching 70 degrees.As others have mentioned, the black silicone o-ring is garbage. But there are two other things you can use to strap the heatsink to the SSD.

Works but the black bands tend to break.

I have a BMax mini pc with almost no room for a M.2 2280 heatsink. Being so compact, there is almost no airflow despite all the fans being in perfect working order. My CPU was running on average at 78°C, with highs at about 88°C. My WD Blue M.2 SATA 2TB drive is right next to the CPU, and was running on average at 72°C, with highs at about 86°C. After installing this little heatsink, the drive runs on average at 56°C, while the CPU stays unchanged of course. This is probably the most effective slim heatsink I have ever tried. The little rubber rings are a bit difficult to handle, but they give you an alternative with the fabric straps, and those work well. Though, you get better contact and heat transfer with the rubber rings. Overall, a good design for difficult form factors.

I have a few of these and they work well and are not to difficult to install

I bought this to add to a rather hot chip on a Macintosh Performa 630CD DOS Compatible.The low profile is perfect for fitting under the DOS card, without shorting out on any of the solder joints. The blue insulative tape is there, just in case - but there's a good .5-.75mm of space between the tape and the bottom of the DOS card! Oh, and it drains the heat away very nicely, assisted with a noctua fan I shoe-horned into place, to blow across this heatsink, as well as the 486DX/2 on the DOS card. So much better!Just because a hunk of metal is designed for one use don't mean you can't use it for something else :D
