ineo Aluminum M.2 2280 SSD Heatsinks with 20mm Fan and Pure Cooper Strip for M.2 NVME SSD [C2600 Fan]

冷却性能は高いが、厚いので設置場所を選ぶ。

I installed this in a Protectli VP4650 with a Samsung 980 Pro NVMe. This is a 12v fan so I had to splice it into the 12v sata power. However it works perfectly. My temps were at 90c with a normal heatsink, but after installing this it went down to 50c. Great buy. Will purchase again in future.

Installed on a mini pc. Does the job.

The product description claims a fan speed of 10,000 rpm and thermal performance of 8°C - 25°C. I was skeptical about both the fan speed and the possibility that a fan the size of a dime would actually make a significant difference, so I did some testing. I was wrong.SSDs run hot, but without really pushing them you'll never know just how hot they can get. I used HWiNFO 64 to measure fan speed and SSD temperature, and Atto disk benchmark to measure SSD performance. In order to ensure the SSD was stressed as much as possible, Atto was configured to use a 32 GB test file.Testing with no cooler, the SSD reached a temperature of 105 °C and began thermal throttling roughly one third of the way through the benchmark run. Throughput before throttling was roughly 2.9 GB/s write, 3.3 GB/s read. After throttling began throughput dropped to roughly 1.1 GB/s write, 1.5 GB/s read. Still pretty fast, but well below the drive manufacturers promised throughput. This is normal for SSDs. Drive manufacturers advertise peak throughput and leave out the details about sustained throughput. This particular drive actually performed excellent; when stressed in this manner, some SSDs throttle back to speeds that make hard drives competitive.With the cooler installed, HWiNFO reported a fan speed of just over 15,000 rpm, substantially higher than the advertised speed. The Atto benchmark run was completed with no thermal throttling, and the SSD's peak temperature was 62°C, a 43°C difference. Obviously, this is substantially better than the cooler manufacturer's 8°C - 25°C performance promise.Fan noise from the cooler at 15k rpm was just enough to be annoying. The cooler is designed to plug into any motherboard fan header and doing so gives you control over fan speed. Changing the fan speed to 8000 rpm eliminated the noise, still eliminated thermal throttling, and yielded a peak temperature of 74°C. This is 31C better than running the SSD with no cooler, and once again, better than the manufacturer's performance promise.In both cases the cooler reduced idle temperature from 70°C to 56°C.A passive heatsink may meet your needs as well as this cooler while costing less, and installing this cooler is moderately more complicated than installing a passive heatsink. But a passive heatsink is potentially bulkier, less effective, or both. This cooler is compact and delivers substantially more than it promises.If you don't stress your SSD, you probably don't need a cooler at all. If you do, you should definitely consider this one.

Keeps my drive running cool
