I'm ordering another one right now. My workstation has had the 2TB 990 EVO Plus for a few months now. I have been using a huge cooler from Thermalright, and the hotspot idles around 55C. I just upgraded my gaming computer to the same SSD and put this Sabrent heatsink on it, and the hotspot is yet to go above 44C in any stress test. Installation was foolproof (of course you're not a fool) but the thing lines everything up for you. It has a separate tray for use depending on if you're using it on a single or double sides SSD, which is nice. I got the crazy colored one too. It looks cool; it's got that blown glass color scheme going. I like that it looks cool but doesn't need an extra cable for RGB or a fan or anything.

Noticeably decreased throttling, obviously it's just passive cooling so it didn't eliminate throttling but it works as indicated.

Heatsink requires you use it's provided screw to attach to motherboard M.2 offset. Heatsink screw thread is 2mm. MSI offset thread is 3mm so will not atach. No adaptor provided.

I got this to replace the included heat plate for my motherboard after noticing the temps on my Samsung EVO 980 2TB ssd were sometimes creeping up into the 60s under sustained loads.Previous setup ----- Idle: 38 | Load: 63Sabrent ------------- Idle: 32 | Load: 53As you can see this made a pretty big difference and also had the added benefit of actually improving my overall case temperatures, albeit slightly. The best performing M.2 slot is in between the GPU and CPU so when it was warming up it was bleeding ambient heat into both and causing their temps to rise slightly as well. Wasn't really expecting that but nice bonus!The heatsink itself feels heavy and was well-machined and is very easy to install. You will have to apply a little bit of force to compress the top and bottom parts so you can screw the 4 side screws in... this didn't feel unreasonable to me but it is a little daunting having to squeeze your very expensive NVME drive inside what is essentially an aluminum sandwich. Just don't go crazy and you should be fine.It's also quite low profile compared to a lot of other enclosure type heatsinks and I was actually able to mount this without having to remove my GPU or even having to pull the fans off my CPU cooler. It's very tight to install but it can totally be done. The captive mounting screw was a godsend and made it much easier to install than it was to get my old heatsink off!In terms of performance: there are better tower type heatsinks for NVME drives but those are harder to install because clearance is so tight-- they're a better choice if you're building new since there's not much chance you're going to be able to get those in place in a working system without a lot of extra effort and then depending on your CPU cooler you might not even be able to seat them. This worked extremely well with a very large dual tower air cooler (Thermalright Phantom Spirit SE) and didn't interfere in any way.Overall fantastic product, did exactly what I needed it to and the instructions were relatively clear. Please be sure to read them carefully as well-- single-sided M.2 drives need an extra thermal pad installed in the cooler to get rid of the air gap for maximum performance. I suspect a lot of people skip over that step based on some of the reviews I looked at online and if you don't install it you're going to have much worse thermal conductivity and some bleed heat at the bottom of the enclosure.

The Sabrent M.2 2280 SSD Rocket Heatsink gets very favorable ratings and I agree with all of the positive reviews. Instructions are easy to follow. Build quality is excellent. The heatsink just looks and feels solid and dependable, and it is very effective at cooling. I really like that it came with a built-in screw to fasten the SSD with cooler to the motherboard without the frustration of dropping and losing a tiny screw. This makes it so much easier. On top of everything, it just looks nice with the black and copper design.

Excellent product. Easy to install with clear instructions, but the provided screw did not fit my pcie m2 adapter.

I chose this model over the very similar design because I felt like the long screw going through both sections of this heatsink would be more secure. Unfortunately, on my Dell XPS 8950 (LGA1700 socket) the included screw is too small for the thread on the motherboard. That said, this thing is hefty; I was quite surprised by the weight of it considering how small this is. Rather than return it for the SB-HTSK model I chose to just drill this out to 3.5mm which fit the 6-32 screw very well. This heatsink would have received 5 stars if it hadn't been for the lack of information about the screw, or an option for the correct size included in the package. As far as performance, my Samsung 990 Pro is running 3-5 deg F cooler than the Dell OE SSD (WD SN530) with the OS now running on the Samsung and the old SSD sitting idle. I would highly recommend any of the Rocket line of heatsinks; just make sure you know what size screw your motherboard takes before you decide on exactly which model because apparently they aren't all one standard size.

My biggest regret aside from buying this is not taking pictures during installation! First, the preinstalled thermal pads are installed with double sided adhesive! is the adhesive thermally conductive? I had to replace these thermal pads. Imagine removing those thermal pads that crumble away leaving the adhesive strip that needs to be removed next - not easy of course. The bottom cover has a tall metal grommet for the m.2 stick notch which makes the bottom part stick lower and actually touch the tiny components on the motherboard! I had to use 2.5mm thick thermal pads for the m.2 drive to align with the grommet and contact the bottom cover. If the grommet is not aligned with the drive notch, it will not fit on the motherboard. I also used thin plastic insulating tape on the motherboard in order to protect it from the bottom cover of the cooler actually touching the components. The screw to secure the drive to the board is a very long one that is inserted through the top heat sink and it doesn't align properly with the motherboard screw mount. The supposedly easy install turned into a highly stress-inducing struggle. I had to make this work because I already paid for it and it'll be more stressful to return it and not have an m.2 cooler. I really doubt that the manufacturer actually tried using this product. buyers beware!

My motherboard, an MSI Z590i MEG, came with a two-slot M.2 design wherein the top slot is PCIe 4 and the bottom is PCIe 3. The stack is right in between the CPU and the GPU (an 11700k liquid cooled and 6900xt in this case). For the longest time I had the Rocket (a PCIe 4 device) in the lower slot because of compatibility needs with an OS running on the other interface (a drive that was PCIe 3). I recently no longer needed that OS so I swapped drives to gain extra performance. Little did I know that heatsink stack that came with the motherboard would not be up to the task of cooling a PCIe 4 drive in that PCIe 4 slot once I brought up a game that would use the drive plus the GPU. It quickly overheated and the computer would reboot despite having loads of fans running full-tilt. So on a stroke of "why not" I bought this heatsink. Sure enough it can replace the stock upper heatsink plate of the Z590i and I've had not a single lock-up sense. I also ran a drive stress test for about 30 minutes and the drive did not throttle on the read side (writes, it throttled, but that's known issue pertaining to its cache, not heat).

Pésimo, la tapa de arriba se levanta aun cuando lo atornillas no me gusto que se quedará así y no observo que ayudará a la temperatura aun estando bien colocado el disipador de la parte de abajo.

I now own three of these, all three attached to PCI-e 4.0 SSDs (two different brands in two different motherboards) and the heatsinks are doing an outstanding job. It knocked 12 degrees C off an Unraid server parity drive which would fail often after hitting 61C. I'm running parity-sync as I type this and it's holding at 50C for a little under 30 minutes.For my main machine, I have Sabrent SSDs under these heatsinks and they perform very well, stopping a boot loop with Windows 10 because of drive heat issues.Perhaps you thought you had failing drives in the past but they were actually heat issues. One of my SSDs claims to be able to reach 70C without failure but it would regularly give up at 60C. I would not use any PCI-e 4.0 drives without this heatsink. PCI-e 3.0 drives don't get hot enough so it's not a concern but PCI-e 4.0 drives run very hot.For the money, the material is high quality and I'm very satisfied with this purchase.
