I bought this Samsung drive for the PS5 as well. After doing a lot of research, there are a ton of options between $10-20. Sabrent recently released a PS5 heatsink cover that works for most SSDs in the M.2 slot and it replaces the factory SSD cover which is pretty handy. It seems to preform fairly well based on a lot of youtube reviews and the one I ended up purchasing since its a very large heatsink compared to all the other heatsinks on the market.
Another popular option is the MHQJRH heatsink at Amazon, but can be found under other rebranded names. It's another option that is cheaper at around $11-14 but to get the most use of out it, you'll need to keep the PS5 SSD cover off to get proper airflow. While people may say Sony recommends keeping the cover on for negative air pressure, for the SSD itself, temperatures are far better with the cover off.
The 1tb sn850 got considerably slower over time in my PS5. Sammy are the most consistent performing imho, but the move to tlc made it not worth the premium.
Strange. Any idea what's causing it? Some folks at r/buildapcsales commented that it tends to run a bit on the hot side without a heatsink.

EDIT: Here is the post where the $290 2TB SN850 was posted, it was using a $50 coupon along with a sale price, so the chances aren't *great*… but there is still a chance at least: https://slickdeals.net/f/15281785-newegg-15-off-max-50-off-from-gpay-unique-promo-code-ymmv?v=1&p=1496
