As practically all M.2 SSD heatsinks are designed for desktop PC use in 2021/2022, the bulk of them are either 2280 length only or were not technically designed to work in the PS5 hardware environment. This is where the Sabrent PS5 designed heatsinks for SSDs comes in. Designed to precisely fit the PS5 M.2 SSD cavity, it fills the whole 22110 area, also acting as an alternative to the m.2 cover and therefore managing to maintain the airflow through the PS5. At least, this is what Sabrent is claiming.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up about the Sabrent PS5 Heatsink Testing! It is taking way, WAY longer than anticipated. You guys will see 20-30mins of recording on each test/variable (4 tests currently planned, heavy write, heavy read and two gameplay sessions), fast-forwarded to around 10-15 seconds, side by side. But 1 test for 15 seconds, takes me around 6+ hours of installation, transfer, test, stick around and control, make notes, cancel tests, move data over, cool-down time, Then repeat three more times (total of 4 on-screen recordings per test, 2 tests per heatsink showing temp under heatsink and outside of bay). Then there is the editing and then voice over discussing results.... it a long, LONG edit on this one and fast looking like it will go out Wednesday I am afraid. The worst thing about his particular test setup is that my Temp sensor goes into automated standby every 8 mins, so I have to keep turning the bloody thing back on every 8 mins. At one point my cat tries to knock over the temp sensor... see if you can spot the paw in the fast forward! Sorry for the delay on this chaps and I hope it is worth it! Additionally, I will be sure to include a brief demonstration showing that the SSD and thermal pad 100% comfortably connects with the heatsink during installation, as this has been queried ALOT since the first video. Have a great weekend everyone!
Just throw that cat onto the seagulls.
Kidding, i love cats and seagulls :) .
Waiting for your tests on this bro, I've learnt a lot over the pasts weeks watching your videos. I like how you explain everything with such detail and your thorough tests. Thinking about getting this heatsink when it's released in EU, together with a Samsung 980 Pro. Was going for the Aorus, but changed my mind after your detailed comparisons. Just waiting to Wednesday to make sure this heatsink is as good as it looks. Keep up the good work and congratulations for your 50K Subs!! You got mine a couple days ago :)
Thank you so much for your effort. My decision to buy this will depend solely on your upcoming video. Sabrent posted a video with their temperature tests, but I'd rather wait for your results.
Lmao you're a legend mate
@NASCompares Great videos like always. My dilemma is if it's better to get the sabrent heatsink or the one with the firecuda 530. Can you do a temperature comparison test between this sabrent heatsink and the firecuda 530 w/heatsink preferably the 2tb?? That will be one of those ones as far as the best of the best going head to head.
Being that the Sabrent heatsink with the 2 TB SSD won't be available until October 28th, and I think that also applies to just the heatsink itself, I'm glad you were able to get one to test. I have already decided that this is the one I'm going to buy, but it's nice to know that I can see a test before I buy it. I have no doubt that it will perform well enough that I will still want to buy it. The only reason I don't go for the 4tb version is because I don't have $1,000 to spend.
The best person to talk about SSD is you. Literally been waiting for them to show the back and here it is, you show it in so many angles. Nice video. 👍🔥
Thanks buddy. You just made my weekend with that comment
I wish i was as passionate about life as this man is, about storage!
Great content as usual, mate. 👍
Oh yeah... I only get invited to the coolest of parties!
Mainly to sort the WiFi
In this life finding something that gets you up in the morning is definitely goals.
I knew you was gonna get this review in. U always come in clutch with the reviews on the product
Where have you been all my life, best tech how to videos ever!!!! You are GOOD!!!
I just got the 1TB and heatsink bundle for my PS5 and am super pleased with it so far! Great video!
Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos.
Right back at ya, for watching them buddy!
I'm glad that I waited on getting an ssd unit I saw this video.
I feel like I'm learning more by watching your videos
Thank you for giving me exactly what I wanted ever video and zero clickbait! Keep killing' em grandpa! lol
*waves walking stick* now listen to me, you....
Was waiting for this. Thanks mate!
Glad to help dude. I hope Part 2 helps too
@NASCompares I‘m glad that you‘re the first one outside of the Sabrent company who shows this heatsink, especially the back of it 👍👍. Can’t wait to see your next video about the temperature measuring .
This is EXACTLY what I was going for in this video. I was absolutely LOSING IT that they weren't showing anything but the top on their videos.... Made me suuuuuper suspicious that it was unfinished, unpolished or a rush job. But no, genuinely impressed by the build quality and wanted to make sure that I got a tonne of 360 shots on this. Cheers for noticing buddy
Thank you for showing the back!!!! It was just weird that I couldn’t see it anywhere, even on the Sabrent RUclips channel. I was starting to get suspicious.
EXACTLY! First damn thing I did when I got my hands on it. Pretty sure you can see eyes scanning for it as soon as I break the plastic and open it up...
Well done my friend . First to review it 👏👏👏👏
Awesome video. I had pre-order this heat sink a few weeks ago.
I have pre-ordered this on amazon...suppose to come at the end of October. I'm already running a heatsink with the sabret 4tb ssd. Can I or should I run both. Would it improve preformance or should I cancel it? Any suggestions would help. Thank you for your thorough reviews
great vid, let me know if it makes a difference for not having the metal cover on it to help with the negative pressure system?
Nice video! I pre-ordered mine and was supposed to wait til mid November for it to arrive. But to my surprise, it was in today's mail! Now you have just applied thermal tape to just the top side. However, the basic heatsink I previously bought came with 2 pieces, and I applied to both sides(I think the installation had me do it). Did I really need to apply thermal tape to the bottom side?
I just received my heat sink 10/13. I ordered it about 2 weeks ago from Amazon and they were telling me a delivery date of 10/26. I also ordered my samsung pro 780 (2tb) and received it today 10/14. the heat sink thermal film was already attached to the heat sink, it took out the guesswork of where i need to place it. installation was a breeze. I fired up my ps5 and it is working like a charm. I'm not sure why 27 people gave this video a thumbs down, probably they used a different heat sink and now they're hitting their heads on the wall.
Great video! With the thermal pad that's on the heat sink, I wonder how close it touches the SSD when you screw that heatsink over the bay. Do you think after heavy usage after a certain amount of time, to keep replacing the sabrent heat sink with another sabrent heatsink due to the thermal pad being used or touching the SSD all the time from hot temperature? Or that thermal pad on the heatsink could last a very long time?
Thanks for the very informative video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for all your time and work on this 😉👍
Could you test this Sabrent heatsink with other ssd’s like the FireCuda?
I preordered this heatsink but now I wonder if the thermal pad will make enough contact with my FireCuda to keep it cool.
Seagate firecuda wayyyyy overpriced
Looking forward to seeing the test and thank for doing this good sir 🙌🏽👏🏽
No worries. Thanks for the props!
Thank you so much for doing this I have pre ordered but I did want more info you have helped amazingly
Glad to help buddy
I don't have a ps5 but I'm excited if this thing works as advertised.
Can't wait for the temp video
Logically, it seems like the way to go. Upgrade the natural heat sink and leave it covered. I'm interested in knowingly attached sink + base cover or ssd sync and unprotected ssd (initial reports say it's one or the other, not both).
I preordered it yesterday from the link in your channel👍 now let’s see the results of your testing 👍:
Thanks buddy! Hopefully a small % of that will keep these vids and the free advice service running for everyone else. You sure are a gent and a scholar!
Is this heatsink compatible with the 2TB XPG Gammix S70 Blade and will I be able to install it with oem heatsink already installed ? Awesome video and thanks for all the info you share
Did you clean the bottom of the heatsink with isopropyl alcohol before installing the thermal pad? Because you were touching it with your bare hands, getting oils on it. That will affect heat dissipation.
Sir, you are doing a great job comparing all these SSD's. You helped me make a choice for my Nas Storage, and now helped me decide which PS5 SSD is best for me. Thank you.
Subscribed.
Cheers buddy. Working some silly hours right now and tour comment really helped man. I'll be sure to pay it forward
I been using a 2tb 980 pro with the og sabrent heatsink but i did pre order the new sabrent heatsink and id like to see the tests done with the 980 pro or other ssd besides sabrent
I’m speaking about purchasing this as well. My only concern is for people that are going to be using D brands dark plates 2.0 is the air going over the top of the heat so you can go to be decreased since those plates now offer direct access for the feds to get air outside of the card soul versus the air flowing over top of the heat safe
I would love to know the temps for this with a firecuda 530.
i'm getting a Sabrent heatsink now, i have a heatsink inside right now but this seems better, also Awesome Ps5 cover, gives me good memories of Ps2, Tnx Mch.
Cheers for watching. Just put together a guide on it. Fairly low cost and I am adding this to the end of a video coming soon - nascompares.com/custom-ps2-design-build-for-the-playstation-5/
Dear kind sir where did you get the cool PS5 side covers that has PS2 styling and logo? :D
Great videos like always. My dilemma is if it's better to get the sabrent heatsink or the one with the firecuda 530. Can you do a temperature comparison test between this sabrent heatsink and the firecuda 530 w/heatsink preferably the 2tb?? That will be one of those ones as far as the best of the best going head to head.
Can we get a test of the other custom designed heat sync - ElecGear PS5 NVMe SSD Heatsink, EL-P5C
Great video and lots of valuable information.
No worries! Glad you liked it
I got the Gammix SSD with the heatsink. Would it matter at all if I added this to it? Or recommend replacing it with this?
Did you need to modify the Sabrent made for PC to fit the PS5?? I bought one myself I couldn't put it on because the copper was hitting so it wont fully connect in.
HI I managed to get a 2tb western digital black without a heatsink, will that heat sink work with my wd Black , thanks for the video
Great stuff, cheers blud. Looking forward to the test video - I'd really like this heatsink but looks like mission impossible in the UK at the moment and I'd really like to install my 980 PRO ASAP on my PS5
Hold out. I think they are gonna massively over produce this
@@nascompares I'm holding!
Is there a thermal pad also applied to the bottom of the ssd? Or just the top?
Where in the world did you get those custom ps5 plates? That looks amazing
Cheers for watching. Just put together a guide on it. Fairly low cost and I am adding this to the end of a video coming soon - nascompares.com/custom-ps2-design-build-for-the-playstation-5/
They sell the heat sink on it's own with out having to buy a ssd would the help performance on it's own? Might wait for a little till I buy one .
Question… My thermal pad was already attached to the Heatsink… is that ok or should I peel it off of the Heatsink and place it directly on my SSD instead? Thanks!
Couldn't see an answer and saw it was something you'd test. I've got the SN850 and the fat version of sabrent HS as i read its really good and seems okay in PS5. Question is, would it be better to get the PS5 one from this video or stay with the fat HS as its negligble difference or it has better performance.
I hope someone answer this. Same question too.
Can you use that on the s70 blade with thermal cover that comes with it or you have to use it without it?
Here before he hits 1M subscribers eventually
Answered every question I’ve been kicking around for the last month from Sabrent’s offerings from size to function. Even there fat heatsink in the space for size comparison. Much better showing than even the official Sabrent channel who never shows the back of there own product, super nice job 👍
curious...wouldn't the heat being dissipated by the heatsink get sucked back in by the fan?
It looks to me like the gum stick pad isn't attached to the heat sink. I am worried that it can't transfer the heat because of that.
I have a Adata PGX Gammix S70 Blade in my PS5. The original tiny heatsink is already installed. I loved your review and want to buy a Sabrent PS5 heatsink. It's compatible with my SSD? Do I have to remove the heatsink what comes with the SSD? Thank you for your help.
yes no choice, it's one or the other you will cool better with sabrent checked and tested here.
I actually would like to see a comparison with the OG Sabrent heatsink. I'm still inclined towards picking up that big bad boy, even though this heatsink looks great.
The big boy heatsink is the best for cooling the SSD but not so good for PS5 cooling in general from my understanding. because the open bay crates many air flow instead of 1 air path which is supposed to be idle for cooling the PS5.
I have a third-party heatsink on the ps5, will this heatsink be able fit and properly close the m.2 slot?
Hi! I’ ve seen a lot of your videos, great stuff👍 I got the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 2 TB for my PS5. I used 1 thermal pad only, on top of the SSD itself and then used a third party double sided heatsink. I’ m interested in the Sabrent PS5 heatsink, what effect do you think it will have if I use the Sabrent PS5 heatsink as well?
@nascompares can you test the mc1 be quiet heatsink
Hey Nas can I use the Seagate firecuda 530 with built-in heatsink along with the Sabrent Heatsink made for the ps5?? Ive heard mixed opinions and I wanted to know from you? I dont think anyone is doing a video or testing to see if it makes a difference witb a 1st party heatsink. Thanks love all the videos its helping so many people.
I wouldnt use a heatsink on the SSD AND the Sabrent heatsink...the Sabrent HS is designed to touch the SSD by default (when I showed it touching the ink mark in the vid)...there is simply no room to squeeze in a heatsink.
@@nascompares I dont have the sabrent heatsink yet. So you really think that 3.5mm is really going to be a problem using a Sabrent heatsink and the firecuda 530 with heatsink in the PS5? If fitting wasnt an issue whats the concensus on using a Ssd with built in heatsink along with the Sabrent heat cover? Obviously using a thermal pad between the two?
Is this heatsink hard to remove if I wanted to get an even bigger SSD?
Hey where you got the PS5 old school ps2 sticker ? real cool ?
Whaaaaa how do you already have it did sabrent send one to you?
i'm curious how it can work with other SSD's? like for example, can you take the Gammix S70 (the non-blade one), take off its massive heatsink and place this Sabrent PS5 heatsink instead? will it fit and will it work??
Yes. But, as you say, only if you remove the stock HS
Anybody knows where should we get the major SSD discounts.
Has anyone asked, about using both? A lot of us bought the heatsink before sabrent came out with the cover heatsink. Would it benefit using both or is that overkill?
No. Either use your current heatsink or remove it that and use the sabrent. But never both at the same time!
If i were sabrent, i would have done the opposite with the grooves on top..
Make them come out as fins.
The design seems pretty well done though... i just think theres room for improvement.
Edit, guess they kinda are like fins.
Id still make them higher, maybe double height.
What kind of heatsink do you use recently for your sabrent rocket 4 plus? I just got one yesterday with the sabrent heatsink, though you can't close the SSD enclosure.
I used the fat sabrent....till this arrived though. The temp tests are about 40% done and already won me over personally
@@nascompares thanks. I’ll keep using the fat sabrent until I can get my hands on this one!
We Need A Sabrent PS5 heatsink VS Seagate FireCuda 530 Heatsink
I'll stick with my firecuda heatsink but I would like a thined out version of the sabrent just to use as a nicer looking cover lol
Wd black sn850 2tb with heatsink over here lol
@@IrrelevantFart
Wish they were available. I've looked everywhere everyday and all out of stock
@@dougk4071 I could only find a SN850 2TB without heatsink. Everyone is buying the heatsink version for PS5. It sucks
Do i have to replace the thermal pad everytime I remove the cover? I bought a sabrent ps5 heatsink with a pre-applied thermal pad and installed it on my PS5. I haven’t turned on the PS5 yet and I just removed the cover just to check if the thermal pad is properly contacting the NAND and the controller. 😅
Nope. A thermal pad will be good for several applications..maybe clean it if it's a rigid pad, or flip it over if it's a tacky one (using a piece of tape (dabbing it) to remove any dust
I am interested in using this heatsink with a sn850, so that would be a useful comparison to see how it works with Samsung and western digital m.2 drives
Did it work well with the sn850?
Yea DOES IT WORK
Is the gammix s70 blade with the small heat sink compatible with this??
Okay, I have a question I can not seem to find an answer for. I have two 2TB Western Digital SN850 SSD’s… one with the factory heatsink, and one that will be using that cool Sabrent cover/heatsink combo. Here’s my question: can I just pop out the SSD I currently have installed (SN850 w/HS) and install the other one? Once they’ve been formatted and all that, can I swap one out for the other and visa versa? Store different games on the different SSD’s… please let me know! Thanks!
-Mark
Tbh that is a very good question and I'll give it a test. There might even be a video in it.
what screwdriver did you have to unscrew that tiny screw inside the ps5
will this heat sink work for Pilot E since it’s double sided ?
I'm planning on using Seagate FireCuda M.2 530 4TB internal ssd without heatsink. But gonna use sabrent m.2 nvme ps5 heatsink cover. What do you think??
Can't fault it mate. Come back to the channel in about 4-5hrs when the full temperature testing video on the Sabrent PS5 Heatsink goes live.
My real concern with that heat sink is that it doesn’t look like it has a lot of surface area on the top of it. The fins/ribs are so small I wonder how much heat it’s really going to transfer into the air passing by.
Interesting point. However most other heatsink would be completely locked in the m.2 bay and covered by comparison. Only a FAT heatsink would get more air coverage and the concern for some of that it will impede the PS5 general airflow
My only concern with this heatsink's design is how can you guarantee the thermal pad is always in contact with the metal recess part of the heatsink? Which is why i think Sabrent could've have done an SSD-Heatsink closed package design altogether to rule that tiny chance out. Other than that, i can't fault them. Brilliant idea! Keep up the good work, honestly your videos are the best out there when it comes to reviewing/testing electronics. Just subbed :D!
I cover this in Part 2 of the review and testing of the Sabrent PS5 SSD heatsink going live tomorrow mid-day (fast forward to 02:00 on that video when it's live to save yourself some time.
@@nascompares thanks for the reply. In theory, we can use this heat sink on any M.2 SSD correct? I prefer Seagate Firecuda 530’s performance to Sabrent’s Rocket SSD, and was wondering if there would be any hinderances when mixing those together…
No conflict/issue at all. I've tests with a few single/double sided SSD from different brands and still perfectly fine
@@nascompares took a while to get here but this is the exact information I was looking for. I like the design, just wanted to know if it would be just as efficient with non-Sabrent SSD's. I'll be using the WD SN850 ssd with this heatsink
That heat sink won't fit with the fircuda with preexisting heatsink will it
What is the thickness of the thermal pad?
When will the test video be out wondering how gud it cools and if it works with 530
Later today (in about 6-7hrs). Apologies for the delay
So today I notice that my PS5 doesn't have the spacer or the screw for the spacer. Anyone know if it's ok to use the ssd with sabrent heatsink without it?
I wanted to comment on the fact that the double-sided SSD and single-sided SSD both fit the same with the heat sink. If you notice, there is a spacer on one end that the SSD sits on top of that you screw down. If you look at that spacer without the SSD there you noticed that there is a gap between the top of the spacer and the bottom of the slot. The bottom half of a double-sided SSD fits in that space. So the upper part of that SSD doesn't sit any higher than the top of a single-sided SSD. And that's the reason that the heatsink fits the same way with both.
I HAVE THE 2 TB SABRENT BUT A THIRD PARTY HEATSINK DO I NEED THERMAL PAD ON BOTH SIDES I COULDNT TELL IF YOU DID THAT IN THIS VIDEO.???THANKS
Any flat part of the ssd your heatsink touches must have a thermal pad
If my nvme already has a heatsink, so I still need this? I brought the Samsung 980 pro with heatsink.
That PS5 Plates tho, if that retro logo plate isnt a skin i need to know where you got that???
Cheers for watching. Just put together a guide on it. Fairly low cost and I am adding this to the end of a video coming soon - nascompares.com/custom-ps2-design-build-for-the-playstation-5/
Can u use this heatsink with firecuda 530 or so sn850?
im just concerned that placing a sticky thermalpad between a screwed nvme and a separate heatsink cover might spell damage by simply taking out the heatsink cover. my heart would stop if i see my nand chips getting stucked at the heatsink and thermal pads
hey bruh. I have an interesting question about this Sabrent heatsink but no one seemed to talk much about yet.
so I bought the firecuda 530 2tb with heatsink for my ps5. I am wondering if this heatsink can be added to the firecuda, so double heatsink, sort to speak. there is one person on amazon who replied no without any explanation. was wondering if you'd be willing to offer some opinion since you have tested it. thank you.
Hey buddy. Ok, so they were right, you definitely should do that. 1, because there is insufficient room in that slot for both a traditional m.2 HS and the Sabrent. 2. Even if there was room, they double heatsink would still need to be conductive and pass the heat through (so you'd need another thermal pad between them). 3. If they WAS space and you DID have a thermal pad, you would be heat would be poorly dissipated into the 2nd HS. Heatsinks are designed to dissipate the heat into the surrounding air, not another heatsink. The result would just keep the heat in the first HS longer. Hope this helps. Have a nice weekend man
@@nascompares thank you so much. this prevents me from doing foolish things to damage my new firecuda in the future. the ps5 aluminum cover though, is ugly. that's why it keeps making me to think of ways to modify the look, but I guess it serves its purpose well. thanks again and happy holidays to you in advance.
No worries man - Have a jolly one too
How can I ask you a question. Can you put a heat pad on the bottom of the SSD. I see you just use the SSD. Then put a pad on top of the SSD then the serbernt heatsink. Can you put one on the bottom. Example. Heat pad, SSD, heat pad on top of SSD, then the serbernt heatsink. Can someone answer
Can you do a proper install for the sabrent rocket bundle
I could, but tbh it would be the same as you see here, but the heatsink has a pre-applied thermal pad. That's the only real difference
Can I use my Gigabyte With Heatsink along with this heatsink?
Not the Gigabyte 7000s, no. Unless you remove its own proprietary heatsink. Otherwise, any SSD without a heatsink is totally gonna work with this
Does the heatsink press down heavily on the ssd to make enough of a contact to cool it properly? Or is it just touching the ssd?
Depends on the thermal pad. The default one that the HS arrived with made a satisfying squish, but not enough to worry about chip damage. Wait for the temperature test video with this HS that will be live tomorrow to see this properly
@@nascompares Wow quick reply!I was just wondering if it made enough contact with a 1.0mm thermal pad but youve answered that.Looking forward to your test vid.
But how about fitting correctly with other SSD brands? My main concern is that once installed, is it really touching the SSD properly to cool it? (Sizewise)
I have the same concern, as i already have a 980 pro n pre ordered this heatsink cover...
The thing is once its closed you won't be able to tell. It's also only attached with one thin thermal pad. I would much rather have a real heatsink from the original manufacturer. It's not worth destroying your card or PS5. Sony has not confirmed this yet either.
@@D-NastyNoise This was the main reason I decided against it and to cancel my preorder, going with the traditional m.2 ssd + heatsink. I can't imagine that Sony approves of using an after market "cover" (even if it is a heatsink also). I'm not saying Sony knows everything, but there's no reason to risk changing airflow as intended by doing things like adding different faceplates or even something like this. Maybe in the future I may try it when the consoles are readily available, but for now I'm not risking anything outside of what Sony recommends and bricking it for whatever reason, just to have to go through the struggle of obtaining another one right now.
@@danbooke2001 Exactly!
@@danbooke2001 its not really rocket science.
I have a WD SN 850 with built in heatsink and Sabrent heatsink cover.Can I use them together??
No
I'm using an Elecgear heatsink which is also built for PS5 but it is much larger and nicer looking
It's a nice looking heatsink & since it allows you to save money on a naked SSD, you can splurge a little more for a better quality one.
Very much my thinking too. But I'll reserve my ultimate opinion after the temp tests conclude. Looking good so far though
It's only $20 for the heatsink. You can get a good one for less than $14. The heatsink isn't gonna break you.
I have a crazy question: Is it possible or even advisable to use the Sabrent cover with an ssd that has a built in heatsink?
I’m probably going to get the Firecuda 530 w/ heatsink and was wondering if this would be a viable “cover” replacement on top of the factory heatsinked Firecuda ssd.
It's not possible. It's designed to pretty much make contact with the SSD and replace the need for any other heatsink
if its just an aluminum sticker """"heatsink""""" then I think its fine to use it
My console doesnt recognize my sabrent rocket 4 ssd when I install the heatsink, also when I play games and download without the heatsink, no crash, with heat sink, CRASH. What is going on with this damn heatsink?
How thick is the thermal pad?
Just ordered mine 2tb with heatsink
Question: is it possible to install an SSD with its own proprietary heatsink and this heatsink cover? xD
Afraid not!
