Meh. There are cheaper heatsink options as low as $6.99 at Amazon. May not be as slim, but you are never going to see it after the cover goes back on the PS5.

I am going to flatten my coke can and get my rubber band onto my M.2 SSD
but srsly, does anyone know how this heat sink perform on a PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSD?
attaboy. its' a piece of aluminum guys. you probably have scrap metal lying around the house that can be put to use like this. coke cans, sheet metal, old hard drive enclosure, i mean I can think of a thousand things within arms reach I could easily repurpose. they don't get so hot that you have to have a lot of cooling, just need to spread the heat out a bit.
It worked for me when I carried over from my non-slim to my slim. Shape is slightly different but still works
Yup, same experience. No issues fitting into the Slim. I didn't even notice the slot shape difference because I traded the OG for the Slim, then reinstalled the SSD.

They can hit 95 Celsius, idk what the hell you're blathering about, do you routinely touch your stove burner, too? They absolutely should have a heatsink just to keep temps within the recommended operating range (70).

If your SSD is hitting 95C there is something very wrong with how you are using it, or you have a bad one. laptops, which are often far more thermally limited than desktops or consoles, typically just have a bit of thermal tape and a bit of foil for ssd cooling. that's it.
a strip of aluminum from a cut up coke can and a piece of thermal tape will likely be just as effective as this dinky heat sink. probably even more because you can make it as wide as you can fit into your unit, perhaps even curling the edges around, thus increasing dissipation surface area. if you have room to layer a second piece of aluminum on top of the first sheet with a bit of that thermal tape/pad in between, even better.
basically, if you bought an ssd and it didn't come with a heat sink, it probalby doesn't need it. none of my ssds under 2tb came with a HS, and although some of my motherboards have built in heat sink covers they do not need it at all. temps via HWmonitor show them in the high 40s at best.
What you're missing is that SSD controllers are sophisticated enough to thermally throttle so they don't malfunction and cause data loss.
Just because they were tested without a heatsink and determined to suffice under controlled conditions doesn't mean squat once it hits the consumer. There's too many variables, which is why manufacturers are starting to sell drives with and without heatsinks preinstalled.
As far as laptops go, you're pulling at edge cases that are always notoriously bad indicators for how hardware should perform. They have increasingly unwieldy power constraints, for starters.
Moreover, drive capacity has little to do with heat output. Most of that heat is coming from the controller.
And I'm not sure what you're talking about with all that makeshift heatsink nonsense, but give it a rest. The aluminum in this heatsink isn't chemically identical to a soda can, starting with the fact that aluminum cans are lined with plastic.

There are numerous online tests showing 90-95 is reachable but you keep using bubble gum and coke cans, I'm sure that'll work out for your build.
I concede that I'm probably being more cavalier about high nvme temps than is warranted, but I will note this from the first article you cited, speaking of using coke can heat sinks:
"Surprisingly, even the thin and disappointingly flat sheet of aluminum provided with the ASUS motherboard is the classic case of something is better than nothing. In all three runs, the motherboard SSD heatsink was able to keep the drive well below the thermal ceiling of 70°C that most manufacturers recommend."
Wow, there are some crazy m2 coolers out there. OLED displays and heat pipes radiators!
I think though that this might be better than the OP since it is made of copper instead of AL. But perhaps the custom cut is more desirable. icepc M.2 2280 SSD Pure Copper Heatsink Kit Cooler Heat Sink with Silicone Based Thermal Pad for Cooling M.2 SSD NGFF NVME SSD(70x20x2mm) https://a.co/d/exCL7cg

Agreed, this stemmed from a fairly facetious comment and I doubt anyone is going to fashion a heat sink when good ones can be had for $10.

now what people SHOULD spend $ on is thermal pads. $5 gets you a whole pack and you can cut to fit.this is a good exdample: . [amazon.com]
