Know before you buy
Yes, the Sabrent Rocket Heatsink is designed to accommodate both single-sided and double-sided M.2 2280 drives, providing versatile compatibility for most high-speed NVMe storage.
No, this is a passive cooling solution. It relies on its aluminum and copper construction to dissipate heat naturally, so it does not require any fans or power cables.
The installation is straightforward and designed to be user-friendly. The package includes all the necessary hardware, including thermal tape and a dedicated screwdriver, to ensure a secure fit.
The heatsink is designed specifically for desktop environments. With dimensions of 3.13 x 0.90 x 0.95 inches, it should fit comfortably in most standard desktop cases, provided there is adequate clearance around the motherboard's M.2 slot.
By using thermally-conductive copper and aluminum, the heatsink draws heat away from the SSD's controller and flash memory. This keeps the drive at a lower operating temperature, which prevents the performance drops associated with thermal throttling during heavy workloads.
