SABRENT M.2 NVMe Heatsink for PS5, Aluminium SSD Cooler with Thermal Silicone Pad, Compatible with PlayStation 5 Console – Easy Installation, Maximum Cooling (SB-PSHS)

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.

Was having problems with my PS5 overheating on long sessions, bought one of these and it hasn't overheated again since. Very easy to install, just pop the side off and unscrew the expansion bay cover and screw this into its place. Well worth a try if you've been experiencing overheating with your PS5.

Ridiculously easy to install and seems to be doing a great job. It's also quite good looking but you'll probably never see it again once installed.

Easy to fit in PS5. Keeping M.2 drive nice and cool. Love it.

This heatsink was very easy to install. My Netac SSD came with a heat-spreader which I installed when I put it in the PS5, but it was throttling when doing big transfers, so I thought a heat sink would be useful. I wanted one that would conduct heat out of the bay, as the standard metal cover looks like it would reflect radiant heat from a heatsink back into the bay. This heatsink was reviewed well and great value at the time I ordered. Installation was very straightforward - once the SSD is in place, remove the standard bay cover and put this one in its place, remembering to remove the plastic covering from the thermal pad as you do so. I did a big file transfer (400Gb) immediately after install and it held a higher speed for longer than before. The speed dropped a little then picked back up, which might have been the thermal pad melting to the right shape to conduct heat optimally. PS4 and PS5 games play super smoothly from the SSD and I would recommend this SSD highly as it is great value and improves on the Sony factory cooling design. NB I didn’t use the included screwdriver as it looked very low quality.

Great heatsink for PS5. Fitted in less than 5 minutes.

About double the cost of most other non-branded items but I prefer a professional brand and Sabrent is well respected. The item is sturdy well built and fitted perfectly.

If you've hit the storage issue that PS5's have (not enough of it for these HUGE games) then you'd have bought a NVMe SSD drive. If your SSD doesn't come with a built in heatsink, then you NEED this, work like magic, easy to install and works very efficiently... Ran the PS5 continuously over a 38hr gaming marathon playing demanding AAA titles from SSD and the temperature didn't spike at all. If you have an SSD, you NEED this.
