I guess if you like the looks of the heatsink in a place you will never see it this may be worth a $30 premium? Or you could get the version that goes on sale for $235-240 (260 now at Amazon) and get a $5 heatsink and stick it on there. Functionally will be no different.
You aren't going to see it in a PS5 and if you are putting this drive in a PC your Mobo already has a heatsink cover for it. If you have a mobo that doesn't have a heatsink cover I'm not sure you are the target audience of this drive as your mobo is too old to support PCI 4.0, or this drive will cost 2x or so of your mobo.

I was commenting that this wasn't a deal. A deal is $235-240. Heat sink is pure affectation and not needed as you can get ones for a few $$$. You won't see it in most use cases so throwing away money.
