GLOTRENDS M.2 Heatsink for 2280 M.2 SSD, Fit for Desktop PC Installation, 22x70x10mm Aluminum Body, Including Thermal Pad

Excellent functionality and value for money
I have used five of these heat sinks on multiple NVMe drives now, most recently a couple of Gen 4 drives – the Samsung 980 Pro and the WD SN850 – which runs hot, but all of them have been kept cool, and I’ve never seen any of them rise to above the low 50s, even under load.In terms of basic heat sink fundamentals they seem to tick the boxes as far as I can tell. They make good contact through the supplied thermal pad, their traditional finned design provides a large surface area, and their material seems to be thermally conductive enough to do it’s job well.Like any heat sink, in order to work effectively there must be airflow across it to carry the heat away. This shouldn’t be an issue in a modern well ventilated case, and anyone concerned about the performance of their drives and the effectiveness of their thermals should already have a good handle on this.Price wise, these are incredibly cheap for what they are. They’re well made, look nice, work well, and come with all the accessories you need for a successful installation. The cleaning wipes are a nice touch, as is the choice of two mounting options. I haven’t yet used the metal clips as I prefer to use the silicone bands to hold the heat sink onto the drive.Overall I couldn’t ask for more of a heat sink. I know there are more elaborate “beautiful” designs, and some that wrap around the rear, which may be necessary in some circumstances but I haven’t personally required that as of yet. My main concern is the temperature of the controller and these manage that perfectly.

Good but nothing crazy
I’ve been using these GLOTRENDS M.2 heatsinks in my server to cool down my M.2 SSDs, and I’d say they’re a solid choice.Firstly, they’re really cheap – like, ridiculously cheap. But for what you pay, they get the job done. The temps on my M.2s have dropped by around 5-7 degrees Celsius, which might not seem like a lot, but it’s definitely noticeable when you’re running resource-intensive applications.The heatsinks themselves are pretty standard fare – they’re made of some kind of metal alloy that seems to be decent at dissipating heat. The installation process is easy enough, and the band provided fit snugly onto my M.2s without any issues.My only criticism would be that the temps don’t drop by a significant margin – I mean, these heatsinks aren’t going to turn your system into a liquid nitrogen-cooled behemoth or anything like that. But for the price, you’re getting a decent performance bump and some peace of mind knowing that your M.2s are running at a slightly cooler temperature.Overall, I’d say GLOTRENDS M.2 heatsinks are a good choice if you’re looking to upgrade your cooling system without breaking the bank. Just don’t expect any earth-shattering results – they’ll do their job, but it’s not like magic or anything.

Great item
Fits perfectly

Comes with a thermal pad
I’m really happy with this heatsink! It comes with all the necessary mountings and a thermal pad. Installation was simple.

My NVMe was running around 57 degrees Celcius regularly, and it was a bit concerning to see my normal HDDs running far cooler at <47 degrees Celcius max.I chose this heat sink because it had a large surface area and cooling fins, which is unlike most of the other flat sinks I see for sale. The price is fantastic and it's lowered my NVMe temperature by about 10 degrees. so happy I went to the effort of installing this!

Attached the heatsink to my Roku Stick after it started overheating with out new Samsung TV. It never overheated with our other TV, but the new Samsung OLED seems to drive the Roku hotter. Since updating the TVs software and the Roku’s software didn’t fix the issue; I had to resort to plan-B. Adding this heatsink was relatively easy, even though the Roku is not flat. Enough of the heatsink made contact to bring temps down from 116C to 101C. Not as low as I’d hoped for, but the annoying message about my Roku overheating is gone. I’ll probably buy another one to attach to the other side of the Roku to see if it can bring it down further.
