SABRENT M.2 NVMe PS5 heatsink (SB-PSHS)

So I already had an aftermarket heatsink for my WD Black SN850 1TB nvme m.2 2280 SSD that I ordered off Amazon when I got the SSD for my PS5. At the time there wasnt very many options and the 1TB WD Black SN850s with on-board heatsinks were either all sold out or going for a 100% mark up. Thus I purchased an aftermarket chinese heatsink built for going in a PC with lots of airflow. When I went to remove the SSD when this Sabrent heatsink, built specifically for the PS5, came in you wouldnt believe how hot that heatsink was. Even with a a layer of thermal pads sandwiched between the heatsink and the SSD. This Sabrent heatsink does what its intended to do. It creates more metallic (aluminum) surface area for the heat to disperse into and away from the SSD. While still utilizing the negative pressure design of the PS5 to remove heat from the expansion card port. The fan also draws new air over the top of the heatsink as well which helps keeps temperatures in check. My dislikes are that the thermal pad provided and pre-installed to the heatsink feels less like a thermal pad and more like a foam one. The thermal pad only goes on the top of the SSD with this design as well. So if you have a double-sided SSD you might want to find a better solution. My last gripe about the thermal pad is its length. Its short enough to only cover a 80mm long SSD. So if for some reason you have a 110mm drive you might want to buy a different thermal pad as well.

The product itself is well designed and of excellent quality. That alone is 5 stars.

today is 9/15/21 when the update was released I updated the console and didn’t work, It completely meets Sony requirements by paper but when I actually installed it on my Ps5 it said it didn’t meet it

For my ps5

Better than the movie.

So I wanted to really get some mileage on this ssd before I wrote this review and I think that over two years of daily driving is a good indicator of how it will preform. First off lets talk about Sabrent they have taken the industry by storm lately and for good reason. They have been working closely with phion to produce some of the fastest drives on the market. When I bought my first m.2 drive it was no question that it was Samsung pro was the best money could buy but over the years Samsung has really dropped the ball and Sabrent was there to pick it up. Be it speed or capacity you could have your cake and eat it as well.

Faster than my 980 Pro at a cheaper price. Amazing product.

Very fast as a boot drive.Exchanged it for a Samsung 980 Pro 2TB drive which was slowing down, running at half its rated speed after 1.5 years of operation.

Gracias a sabrent por crear el mejor disipador para m.2 ps5, fácil de instalar y disipa mejor que cualquier otro

excellent heatsink that do the job as it supposed to be with affordable price and high quality made,the only downside is the thermal pad length unfortunately it doesn’t covers all m.2 sizes available or it’ll be available in future,and they can go with more thickness so that add more dissipate heat
