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

If you're running a high-speed NVMe SSD and want to keep temperatures in check, the SABRENT Rocket Heatsink is a must-have. It’s well-built, easy to install, and does a great job at dissipating heat during heavy workloads. The aluminum construction feels premium and sturdy, and the design is sleek enough to fit into most builds without interfering with other components. It comes with thermal pads and a mounting bracket, making installation straightforward—even for first-time builders. After installing it on my M.2 2280 SSD, I noticed a significant drop in operating temperatures, especially during gaming and file transfers. This not only improves performance but also helps extend the lifespan of the drive. Highly recommended for anyone looking to protect their SSD and maintain optimal performance!

I upgraded my PS5 storage using this Sabrent heatsink, and I’m thoroughly impressed. The aluminum build is solid, and installation—while fiddly at first—was manageable and precise once the SSD clamp was removed. The heatsink replaces the original cover and maintains the PS5’s designed airflow paths, ensuring active cooling rather than trapping heat under a passive plate. Thermal tests reported by reviewers confirm that this heatsink significantly lowers drive temperatures compared to generic models. Its fit accommodates both 2280 and extended 22110 SSD sizes, with uniform pressure that keeps performance stable. On the rare occasion a user experiences SSD bowing, a supplemental thermal pad beneath the board helps maintain balance. For roughly $20, you get one of the most effective and thoughtfully engineered SSD cooling solutions available for the PS5. If you’re planning a high-speed PCIe 4.0 upgrade on Sony’s console, this is the heatsink you should consider first.

I have two of these heatsinks for the two NVMe SSD drives I have in my desktop computer. The heatsinks perform very well and I've never had to worry about high SSD temperatures while I've had them. Putting the m.2/NVMe drive in the heatsink is a pretty easy process, though you will want to make sure the adhesive on the thermal gel is pressed together tightly so that the drive doesn't slide around as you're mounting the drive and heatsink on the motherboard. As a bonus, the heatsink itself has an interesting aesthetic that you might spend time staring at if you have a transparent glass panel computer case like I do. A minor quibble I have is that the heatsink doesn't come with an m.2 screw, so you will have to get one separately (and make sure the m.2 screw fits your motherboard as well!). You will also want to look up how to mount an m.2 drive and screw if this is your first time installing an m.2 style SSD -- it will save you some frustration. The instructions that come with the heatsink don't explain exactly what to do to mount the m.2 screw, so it can be slightly confusing. The key is to screw the m.2 screw and washer into the end of the m.2 drive/heatsink first before mounting it on the motherboard. Overall, I would recommend this heatsink. It does a good job of keeping your m.2 drive cool -- just make sure you know how to install it!

Easy to install. Using a western digital 2tb HD. I use the system for a few hours with no issues after this installed. I didn't take any detailed temperature measurements. Rather be safe than sorry. As long as the price is competitive under 14 bucks this is a good product.

Helps keep the heat manageable in your PS5. Fits exactly like it should. Great value and quality material.

a decently little heatsink, it was a bit pricey but if it works then its fine. super easy to install, you can have it installed in under 5 mins. the sink is pretty thick to move the heat away from the drive. it should improve your speed, or at the very least keep the drive from bottle necking.

Seems to be working great , easy to install. It couldn’t possibly get any easier. Look great I wish every upgrade could be so straightforward.

Stosunek ceny do wydajności jest nie adekwatny ! Prosty aluminiowy radiator daje takie same efekty jak Sabrent. Na minus jest jeszcze to, że wydaje mi się że dodatkowo akumuluje ciepło! Jest ciężki, masywny żebrowania są minimalne - jak się raz rozgrzeje to trzyma ciepło - jak termos ! Pozostało mi jeszcze wymienić termopady na lepsze, ale nie sądzę aby coś to dało.

Works as intended

If your a PS5 owner and looking for a heatsink for your new ssd expansion then look no further. This Sabrent heatsink is a great choice! It fits the Playstation 5 expansion slot like a glove. It's super easy to install and comes with clear instructions. Once it's physically installed your good to go, no firmware updates or formatting needed. It works with any brand ssd that you choose to go with, so not just the Sabrent brand. So far the heatsink is doing its job perfectly. Before I got the Sabrent heatsink I was using a much cheaper type and whilst transferring a bunch of games im pretty sure it caused the ssd to overheat, initially it said 40mins left till complete the transfer, I checked back half hour later and it had changed to a crawling 99+ hours. Since getting this new heatsink installed iv tested the ssd with similar circumstances and it handled it all like a boss. Honestly, I was surprised how much of a difference it made. I am 100% recommending this product for anyone with a PS5 and planning a storage upgrade, it's worth the little bit of extra cash to keep your ssd and PS5 running smoothly.

Fiquei ao menos 1 mês sem o dissipador, nesse meio tempo notei a temperatura de 60 graus no meu SN700 em um dia bastante quente. Agora em dias quentes - como hoje - beira os 40 graus, algo bastante seguro se pensar que os NVme esquentam bastante por natureza.
