QIVYNSRY M.2 heatsink 2280 SSD Double-Sided Heat Sink with Thermal Silicone pad for PCIE NVME M.2 SSD or NGFF SATA M.2 SSD Black

Get yourself a naked nvme drive (make sure it’s gen 4!), then pick this guy up and make your nvme sandwich at home. Comes with all the tools needed to install it, with spare screws and thermal pads, and even a decent quality screw driver. Just look at the diagram in the package and construct your storage sandwich. Fits perfectly in the ps5 while allowing you to place the PS5 expansion shield as recommended by Sony. Whole process takes 5 minutes max.

Perfect heat sink for PS5 nvme drives.

Purchased this to install my nvme drive in my ps5. Considering the very strict size requirements of the ps5 this heat sink fits perfectly into the ps5. Would highly recommend.

Bought to install a 1tb NVMe M.2 2280 and this fitted nicely into the PS5.

If you are looking for a heatsink for your shiny new M.2 to go into your PS5 I am happy to confirm I have just installed this and it fits perfectly. It actually may be the one they use in the PS5 official video showing you how to do the install so you have come to the right place. Pro tip - Do not use the supplied screwdriver to remove the supplied screw which holds the drive in place in your PS5, you will strip the screw! The supplied drive is however fine for attaching the heat sink.

Whilst an NVME drive shouldn't be getting so hot in the secondary slot it requires a heat spreader they can sometimes run warm when doing basic tasks... So from that perspective having something like this can help over the long term by slightly offsetting the heat/cool cycles and therefore extend product lifecycle.Consider that when your NVME heats up and cools, certain joints and soldering points expand/retract with the heating cooling, and they are frequently the true points of failure for consumer use cases, rather than the drive no longer accepting data read/writes from reaching its max rated read/writes in enterprise/professional usage.For that reason having a heat sync makes sense as it will likely fail or get upgraded before the it reaches true EOL.
