Thermalright M.2 2280 TYPE A Aluminum Alloy SSD Vest Solid State Drive Radiator
Computer Components
“Thermalright M.2 2280 Type A is a passive aluminum-alloy SSD heatsink with double-sided thermal pads/paste and a 75×22.7×11.7 mm body. Reviews consistently report large surface-area aluminum construction and top+bottom thermal interface material that drop operating temps by tens of degrees, making this a strong passive cooler for PCIe NVMe drives though its 11.7 mm height can cause adjacency/clearance issues on some motherboards.”
