- ekianjo 5y agoI mean, did your retailer tell you that the heatsink would provide much better performance? or did you hear it from somewhere else?
- archi42 5y agoIsn't this common knowledge? nVME disks run pretty hot under load. A heatsink gives more thermal mass and better cooling, so the disk can sustain its high speeds for longer time. Though I doubt a heatsink [significantly] increases peak performance.
- csomar 5y agoNo. But they had same capacity, different prices. I figured something must be different and it turns out it was write/read speeds.
- scns 5y agoYou need a heatsink for the PCIe4 SSDs to get their full performance, PCIe3 SSDs are fine without. My goto for HW knowledge is https://anandtech.com https://anandtech.com
