M.2 SSD Heatsink

Great heatsinks

just finished installing (with no info on heat transfer pad) and it works great with one slight issue. when installing I noticed it seemed loose and when I pulled slightly on the left part(opposite of hold pcie down clip) it comes out with ease. tried it a few time to check if it was the way I installed it and its just loose. we'll see how it hold the test of time or if it falls out.

I’m using this with western digital in PlayStation 5 but just be aware that you will have to remove the heat sink cover which is no problem at all as it allows for more air flow as it supposed to be like in any computer, highly recommend it

Getting the full speeds from my SSD. Very happy.Plug and play in my Ryzen system with windows 10

We bought a few of these to test out adding NVMe storage to our servers at work. These worked well given the age of our equipment. The storage minted easily on the card using the provided tool. It fit right into our server’s PCI slot as designed. Most importantly, our system loaded and was able to use the storage right away at speeds expected of a gen 3 PCI-e device. Will definitely buy more as needed.

My M2 Slot on my motherboard would not let the new 980 SSD 500G M2 Card run at its full speed.Used the NVMe M.2 SSD to PCIe X16/X8/X4 Card with the above M2 SSD to put in the PCIe slot.This let the 980 SSD 500G M2 Card run at full speed.

Used this for my DIY NAS as a SLOG/write cache. It's still running in there. It's still working like a charm! I'm overall satisfied with this purchase!

Very easy to install and it screams of quality. It lowered my temps and it looks awesome if you show off your internals.

Very successful plug and play experience. It even has a horizontal array of blue leds.

Easily installed and it works perfectly!

Screws on back don't come out easily and 2 stripped on first one we ordered, on replacement the 2nd unit also had a screw that got stripped. Maybe my fault? But it's happened on 3 out of the 8 screws I've tried and so i still have not been able to install

Very easy to install and purchased one for my current and next build looks clean and hides my blue WD m.2 which stuck out of my build.

After many conflicting reviews and production descriptions, I took the chance and can now confirm this will infact provide PCIE4.0 X4 passthrough for 4th gen NVME drives.I can get the full 6995MB/s out of the Rocket 4 Plus, and 4999MB/s out of the standard gen4 Rocket.ASUS CH Hero Viii5900XRTX3080 in slot1 using pcie4.0 x16 from cpuSamsung 980 using m.2 S1 using pcie4.0 x4 from cpuSabrent rocket 4 m.2 S2 using pcie4.0x4 from chipsetSabrent Rocket 4+ in Slot 3 plus using pcie4.0x4 from chipsetYou have to make sure that you arnt using all of the gen4.0 lanes provided. On new Ryzen chips you get 24x gen 4 lanes total, 20x direct from the CPU at low latency and 4x to the Chipset which acts like a switch and provides 16x additional lanes at higher latency.M.2 slot 1 is almost always dedicated x4 CPU lanes, so if you want to use the full potential(however small) of the newer GPUs you run out of CPU lanes.I think many users were trying to use this in Pcie slots that already had their bandwidth spoken for, so make sure to read your motherboards manual about lane distribution.

The first thing one has to do is unscrew 4 small screws. It comes with a small screwdriver (black one in image). It promptly ate up the first two screws I tried on.First, why the need for such tightly wound screws - when they have to be undone by the consumer anyway. Second, why not send out a better quality screw driver.So frustrating and annoying!I got a replacement unit.The instructions are inaccurate and incomplete. For attaching the SSD to the unit, you have to unscrew the screw on the unit and then slip the SSD under it. No instructions on how to attach the heat pads - but I figured it out.After all that - once I had the unit in the slot, updated the bios and drivers for the SSD - worked fine on my relatively old PCIe - gen2 PC.

I have tried another knock off/typical PCIE adapter and nothing like this one, I have a Ryzen 9 5900X paired with an Asus ROG Strix X570-E and I couldn't get the regular adapter to work with my board. I have two other M.2 SSDs and this was the 3rd one and since I ran out of slots this is a beautiful design and completely under-rated brand/design. I am glad for Amazon and being able to return the other adapter. My m.2 NVME gen4 from XPG S70 Blade is running at full speed.

Replaced my motherboard heat sink for m.2 with this one. While temps were ok with the other this product dropped my temps into the 30s. Very pleased with result, easy installation, and fit my product well.

Not a lot to say here other than it works well for my purposes. I bought a new Dell with a 256GB SSD drive, but wanted to upgrade to a 1TB. I needed to be able to clone the 256 SSD that came with the computer so that I could use the faster/larger drive as a boot disk, but also keep the 256 drive in the system for extra storage. I moved the 256 into this adapter and put the new 1TB on the main board (mainly in case i need to remove the adapter and plug something else in id still have a bootable machine) In any case the adapter worked great. Plugged it in and my Dell XPS 8940 recognized it and booted the machine off of the drive in there. Does what it claims to, coming from a reputable brand for a reasonable cost.I also want to add this review is for the SSD drive adapter. I see there is an adapter and 2 heat sync options on Amazon under this listing. It looks like some reviews are for the heat sync alone…and some people have complained about that. I can’t speak to the stand-alone heat sync, but the review is for the SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe adapter.

My Samsung 980 was hitting some massive temperatures previously. 70°+. I installed this heatsink and an extra fan in my case, temps haven’t even touched 40° to my knowledge. I’ll randomly check in a gaming session, the highest I’ve seen was 36°. Well worth the asking price, works so well

This adapter card was an easy way to install a Samsung 980 Pro NVMe SSD in a Dell 7810. The Dell 7810 only supports Gen3 PCIe, but the new NVMe SSD is still about 6x faster than the SATA SSD it replaced. The quality of the adapter and the heat sink arrangement is good. The kit even comes with a small screwdriver to install the nVME SSD inside the heat sink.

I applied the Thermal pads to my M.2 drive (Samsung 970 EVO) then installed the drive in its slot on the card and screwed the heatsink back together. After I finished screwing it all together I found that the bottom plate was bending ever so slightly. I was still able to slot the card into my bottom most PCIex16 slot and my computer recognized it as a bootable windows drive without any further setup needed.

Easy to install 👌 and lowered ssd temperature to 29 degrees Celsius
