For a large order for an Asustor SSD NAS I had to take several brands of heatsinks: these and Enermax. Both are easy to install, practical and seem quite efficient. Not tested in a PS5 (I already had another one but the format seems perfectly adequate.
It's all in the title, does the job without any particular worries or surprises.
As easy to install as sticking a sticker.
I did some tests before and after installing the heatsink and tested with CrystalDiskMark. Before the temperatures at rest were 33° and full load it went to 58° and after installing the heatsink 26°-50° I gained 8° at full load.
The results? My file transfers are faster and smoother than before and my games and applications are not affected after a long use. The only drawback is that it doesn't stick to the SSD and I had to fix it with 2 cable ties.
No big difference between before / after installing the heatsinks on m2 samsung pro and Evo.
I'm not even sure if I gained 5°, but they fit well.
The M2 NVME SSD is poorly placed as it is almost under the video card, so it is poorly ventilated. As a result, the temperature difference with and without the heatsink is not significant. Given the price, I have no regrets.
