Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Aluminum alloy body with dual thermal pads cools one-sided and double-sided 2280 drives
  • ✓ 3mm adjustable height hole lets you match the sink to your exact SSD thickness
  • ✓ Low-profile stripe design clears PS5, mATX and Mini-ITX builds where tall sinks won't fit
  • ✓ Works with both NVMe and SATA M.2 drives, including 980 Pro, SN850, KC3000 and MP600
  • ✓ Mounting hardware and tools included, so no motherboard modification is needed

Cons

  • ✗ 2280 length only, so 2230, 2242 and 2260 drives are not supported
  • ✗ Passive design with no fan, so airflow in the case still governs sustained temps
  • ✗ Thermal pads are consumable and need replacing if you remove the drive often
  • ✗ WAVLINK publishes no temperature-drop figures, so cooling gains vary by drive and case
