Manufacturer description

The ASTARON M.2 SSD Heatsink is a slim, double-sided cooler for M.2 2280 NVMe drives. It works with SSDs that have chips on one side or on both sides.

The box includes the cooler, two 0.5mm thermal pads, one 1mm pad, a screwdriver and an…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this heatsink fit the PS5 SSD expansion slot?

ASTARON lists the PS5 as compatible. The assembled heatsink needs at least 9.6mm of mounting height, so make sure the M.2 2280 drive with its pads sits firmly inside before you close the slot cover.

Which thermal pad should I use for my SSD?

ASTARON recommends the 1mm pad for single-sided drives and the 0.5mm pads for double-sided drives. If a thin single-sided drive is still loose, put 1mm + 0.5mm on the top and bottom so it does not move inside the heatsink.

Will it fit in my gaming laptop?

It needs at least 9.6mm of mounting height. ASTARON says that fits about 90% of gaming laptops but not office laptops. Measure the space above your laptop's M.2 slot before you buy.

What comes in the box?

One SSD cooler, two 0.5mm thermal pads, one 1mm thermal pad, one screwdriver and one M.2 screw.

Does it work with M.2 2230 or 2242 SSDs?

The listing only covers M.2 2280 drives, which can be single- or double-sided. It does not list other lengths, so check with the manufacturer before using it with a 2230, 2242 or 22110 drive.
