Excellent deal for a PS5 upgrade. Anyone have a heatsink suggestion on Amazon?

Heatsinks serve no purpose on an SSD other than appearance. They actually perform slightly better when warm.
they should help with drive longevity.

Not entirely true, but having one won't be detrimental so it doesn't matter a whole lot one way or the other

Technical architect here... NAND stores data for longer with less wear when run at a hotter temperature.

The controller can thermal throttle when running at too high of a temperature.

This is the function of the heat spreader: to bring the heat *from* the controller to both *cool* the controller and *heat* the NAND.

That's what enclosures on enterprise U.3 NVME drives do. That's why M.2 SSDs ship without installed heatsinks.

The only time a heatsink makes a positive difference is if you're actively writing tons of information to a drive *and* you haven't exhausted the SLC cache space.

That's why SSDs doesn't happen with PS5s as they are basically write-once (limited by your Internet speed.)

Jayz video is simply him running benchmarks that don't represent real-world usage and reporting temperatures with no regard to if it is "good" or "bad"; only "higher number bad."

(Also, random but reminder that TBW values are warranty values with little bearing on actual write endurance. Write endurance would be tested with a JEDEC endurance rating. TBW values are largely a way to attificially segment products.)

And what is a technical architect Lmao…have seen just about every computer major out there and in every university, including data scientists and AI and have never come across a technical architect.

what are the major differences between this and the pro? the Evo plus seems so much cheaper but I can't really see why... sorry if this is a noob question.
