This article covers SABRENT M.2 2280 SSD ロケットヒートシンク (SB-HTSP).

Overview

The SABRENT M.2 2280 SSD Rocket Heatsink (SB-HTSP) is a dedicated cooling solution for M.2 NVMe SSDs in desktop PCs. Constructed from aluminum and copper with an internal heat pipe, it efficiently dissipates heat from the drive, preventing thermal throttling during intensive workloads. Measuring approximately 8.38 x 2.29 x 2.44 cm and weighing 140 g, it fits most M.2 slots without interfering with other components.

Connectivity & Compatibility

This heatsink supports M.2 2280 form factor SSDs, both single-sided and double-sided. The package includes thermal pads, screws, and a screwdriver for straightforward installation. While it works with most motherboards, users should check clearance around the M.2 slot, especially near large VRM heatsinks or graphics cards, to ensure a proper fit.

Product Info

Released around 2022, the SB-HTSP is available on Japan for approximately ¥8,410. It comes with a standard 2-year warranty. Accessories include the heatsink, thermal pads, mounting screws, a screwdriver, and an installation guide. Positioned as a mid-to-high-end cooling accessory, it is ideal for users who need better thermal management than stock motherboard heatsinks provide, particularly for PCIe Gen4/Gen5 SSDs that generate significant heat.

Best Use Cases

  1. High-end NVMe SSD users: PCIe Gen4/Gen5 drives can throttle under sustained load. The heat pipe design effectively lowers temperatures, maintaining peak performance. However, if your motherboard already has a large M.2 heatsink, compare cooling performance before switching. 2. DIY PC beginners: Installation is tool-free and takes minutes. The included thermal pads and driver make it accessible for first-time builders. Be mindful of potential interference with the GPU or other components near the M.2 slot. 3. Silent PC enthusiasts: As a passive cooler, it operates completely silently. In a well-ventilated case, it can cool SSDs without any fan noise. In poorly ventilated cases, its effectiveness may be limited, so pair with case fans.
