I bought this heatsink for my Samsung 970 Evo 1TB NVMe drive to see if it would be more efficient than the motherboard’s own heatsink. I’ve got an Asus Prime Z390-A motherboard and it comes with a solid block of metal that sits over the one M.2 slot. Surprisingly, the other M.2 slot doesn’t have any heatsink at all.Before replacing the motherboards heatsink, a ran a stress test on the Samsung drive and the maximum temperature was 49°C. I reran the same test after replacing with this Silverstone heatsink and the temperature went as high as 51°C. So, it’s not quite as efficient as I’d hoped but still very good. You have to remember; the motherboards heatsink is a large chunk of metal.So,I’ve gone back to the original heatsink for the Samsung drive. However, in the other M.2 slot I have an older Crucial 512GB SATA drive. This has been running up to 53°C without any heatsink. This drive is 60mm card, so I wasn’t sure if I could fit the Silverstone heatsink to it.It is possible to fit this heatsink on a smaller drive as long as you have the physical space to do it. The first job is to place the two rubber bands that come with the heatsink around the drive. Then fit the drive to the motherboard. Remove the sticky backing from the heatsink and stretch the bands on the drive so you can slip the heatsink under them. Once in place and making sure that you’re not shorting anything, let the heatsink stick to the drive. Job is done! Now the Crucial drive runs at a maximum of 41°C while under stress.There are many arguments about fitting heatsinks to M.2 drives. There is a case that drives run faster when running hot. However, the real-world speed increase is virtually undetectable. What is known, is that chips last longer when running at cooler temperatures. Personally, I would put longevity over speed in this case.Overall, this heatsink is almost as good as the motherboards heavy-duty heatsink and certainly a lot better than no heatsink at all.

Note that this is a review of the SST-TP02-M2 - M.2 SSD heatsink.I don't game at all working mostly with audio/visual using large virtual instrument libraries which are taxing and time consuming in terms of volume and frequency of read operations, hence the choice of a fast NVMe drive. Additionally, I need to work with as quiet a system as possible so wherever possible I use passive cooling which brings me to the Silverstone heatsink.Using what, at the time of writing, is the fastest performing drive available, I was getting max temperature readings over 100 deg C. The Silverstone heatsink has knocked that down to a max in the high 60s/low 70s while idling at 40.Feedback I've read from other TPO2 users suggest more modest results (10-20 deg. reductions) which perhaps reflect a more benign environment with more aggressive case cooling.With some minor reservation regarding the silicone securing bands (are they durable enough?) I'd highly recommend the TP02-M2. Note that its height - accounting in no small part for its success - might disqualify it where other components sit above the M2 memory.
