The mother of all M.2 heatsinks!

Heat pipes on the PCIe 4.0 drives? 😵

I just hope the M.2 slot can handle the weight.

Won't the height interfere with graphic card

Yeah, I think it could pose a problem for quite a few motherboards.

If a person's M.2 slot is below the top PCIe slot, it would be a big no bueno with a GPU installed.

Even if a person has their M.2 slot above the top PCIe slot, it could still get in the way of many popular CPU coolers.

Many people would likely be forced to install this in the secondary bottom M.2 slot (if their motherboard has one).
 
The part labelled "aluminum heatsink" doesn't add much surface area. Then to make it worse, the "aluminum tray" covers it up, which adds an extra thermal interface to prevent the sides from radiating heat. Thus, I wouldn't be surprised if it actually performed worse than just bolting the "top heat spreader" directly to the drive.

sigh.... didn't that company learn your supposed to cool ONLY the Controller and NOT the NANDS.

Whats next? put a GAMER tag on it so it sounds expensive and cool?
