FWIW I have a 980Pro and it runs as fast as they claim. It is mounted flat on the mobo with a heat conducting pad between the top side and a bar of metal. Highest temperature achieved while transferring from an old WD gen3 drive was about 45C. A dedicated heat sink may not be required opening the possibility of the WD Sn850X for $160 (directly from WD). with a certain friendly payment methopossibly oferisignificant cash back and 15% discount if you send them a dead drive (they pay shipping)

Remember this is the one that needs to have an updated firmware version before using or it can brick. As long as you dont mind the hassle of that its one of the best drives for PS5. I went with the SN850X instead mostly because of that.

Does the fw have to be updated if you're only using it with a ps5 ? Only have a MacBook, so I'm not sure how I'd even update the firmware
