M.2 Heatsink

you wont find anything better than copper, to cool items this is substantial, you wont be bending those copper fins in a hurry

Works great, seems to have better heat dissipation.

As expected.

I used to cool a name case. Not intended purpose but do the job.

You can see everything is hot, except where this heat sink is located. I guess I need it to be a little bit longer. Now I can use an SSD in this $10 case which was designed for older smaller SSDs. This replaces the old aluminum Apple TV remote I was using as a heat sink I need that remote to work my Apple TV to import the video This budget case: orico the aluminum enclosure was too small and light so it overheated quickly and then the drive shut down but with this heat sink, copper is the best conductor of heat and it’s very heavy so it has plenty of mass to absorb the heat, It doesn’t matter if the case is made of metal if it’s a beer can it needs to have mass to absorb the heat and this stayed cool. look how cool this is. I’m trying to edit the video now I put the SSD through its paces. I’m wondering if I should attach it directly to the SSD, I removed the cover from this case but it has its own heat sink; which this is connected to so now it has the needed mass and cooling. You can see how much hotter the areas are without these fins and mass added. I think I need the heat sink as it’s part of the case, holding the drive in place but it was too small and light to be a good heat sink so with this added to the drive it will never overheat again now and I’m just using one small rubber band to hold it on in addition to the sticky pad, which is also supposed to conduct heat, so look at this these are really low temperatures. There were a lot of spaces for air which is an insulator so I did use the supplied thermal pad to connect this to the heat sink, which also seems to secure the drive. The drive is a 2 TB western digital 770 as i found these to be the best because they have a 600 GB cache so they don’t slow down when transferring large files for video When doing research I found out this is the Drive that the SanDisk pro version two uses and the SanDisk extreme portable version one is the 570 which is also sufficient and would be fine in this case with the maximum speed of 1000 on Mac anyway unless using thunderbolt I hate the crucial X8 with its tiny 256 cache even at 2TB for this reason I can only use that for tiny files this case, wasn’t designed for something that would generate this much heat if the file is larger than many older drives I’ll be back with Links and video If you don’t want to spend $10 on the oRico +8 dollars for this heat sink you can also spend 90 on the other world computing envoy with built-in thunderbolt cable but it won’t be much faster for the extra $70. It’s just more portable. Also, that case has much more mass so you don’t need to add a heat sink it already is a heat sink So I have both set ups This set up does not travel well You would need to buy like a pelican case with foam to transport it This way any impact on the fans would be directly transferred to the SSD but the pads there are two of them so they’re like bumpers and I hear these are pretty durable. I bet These are what they use in flight recorders

Fits and works great on my 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 SSD. Before I didn't have a heatsink on my drive it would reach up to 55-61°C when playing games. Now it is 37-44°C while playing. Appears to be copper or has copper on it. It is much heavier than the aluminum ones that came with my mother board. Comes with a sticky thermal pad that works really well. (Just make sure you remove the plastic on both sides) Also came with clear rubber bands to help keep it attached to your NVMe if you want to feel more secure. I have a vertical set up but I am going to see if the sticky pad is enough to keep it in place. If it doesn't then I will use the bands.
