Prime Delivery • 30-Day ReturnsM.2 Heatsink Cooler 2280 SSD Double-Sided Heat Sink with Thermal Silicone pad for PS5/PC PCIE NVME M2 SSD(Black）)
This product is a passive cooling accessory designed for M.2 NVMe SSDs in the 2280 form factor. It consists of an aluminum-alloy heatsink body combined with thermal silicone pads, aimed at improving heat dissipation from the SSD chips. The heatsink is advertised as compatible with desktop PCs and gaming consoles (including PlayStation 5), and with many common NVMe SSD models (both single-sided and double-sided) — including but not limited to drives from series like 970 EVO / 970 PRO, 980 PRO, etc.

Key Considerations
Material & Thermal Conductivity — the heatsink’s construction material (usually aluminum or copper) and the quality of the thermal interface pad affect how effectively heat is conducted away from the SSD.
Heat Dissipation Surface Area & Design — larger surface area or fins, good geometry helps dissipate heat more efficiently into the surrounding air.
Compatibility with SSD and Enclosure (Form Factor, Fit, Height Limits) — whether the heatsink fits the M.2 2280 SSD, whether it supports single-sided or double-sided boards, and if the total height remains within clearance limits (especially important in devices with constrained space like a console).
Thermal Pad Quality / Thermal Interface Material — presence and quality of thermal pad (or pad + silicone) to ensure good thermal contact between SSD chips and heatsink; avoids air gaps which dramatically reduce cooling efficiency.
Ease of Installation & Stability — good design should make installation straightforward (with clips, straps, or screws), and hold securely without damaging SSD.
The effectiveness of any heatsink depends heavily on how well thermal energy transfers from the SSD chips to the heatsink — that requires a good thermal interface. The silicone or thermal pad included in such heatsinks fills microscopic gaps between uneven surfaces to allow efficient conduction. Without good contact, the heatsink's material and surface area don’t matter much.
These factors represent the most critical aspects that will impact your satisfaction with this product.
Customer Reviews
Fits perfectly on my Asus motherboard. Dropped my average temp on one SSD sensor by 10°C and 15°C on the other SSD sensor. Great price, great fit, easy install, does it's job.
great accessory for keeping SSDs cool, especially in demanding environments like the PlayStation 5 or high-performance PCs. Its dual-sided design ensures that both surfaces of the SSD are covered, improving heat dissipation and maintaining stable performance during long gaming or work sessions.
