you definitely want to add the thermal tape that came with the drive. when you installed the drive in the adapter the heatsink is not being used because the tape is missing and it will not touch the drive. So this will cause it to overheat and possibly freeze up and throttle or maybe even burn out and die. At minimum it will lessen the life of your drive.
You absolutely correct and he should be using it after pay $200+ for 4TB drive & I think not including might be big mistake. I have 30+ years building PC's for corporation I never not thermal past on CPU just keep them cool + installing the fan. If any check with the manufacturer of more expansive see if they recommendations of using thermal device came in the packages. I see possible waste of a 4TB drive + my opinion.
Thanks! I edited out part of the video where I said that I'll skip it "for now" because I want to do some experimenting with how well heat dissipates with an airgap vs thermal pad + heatsink. Felt all of that was unnecessary info for this specific video since I have a tendency to babble. I'm planning to post my results in an upcoming video which is more related to the drive itself and not the NVMe PCIe adapter. So far my experiments show that the drive idles at 24°C and under heavy load, it jumps to 38°C. I have CrystalDiskInfo running to warn me when any drive hits 60°C. Will install the thermal pad and heat sink in a week or two and re-test.
@@margaretdarden8366 Thanks! I replied to @trickhayproductions that I'm planning on experimenting with heat dissipation between air gap and thermal pad. I cut that part of the video where I mentioned it because it was too wordy. But I'll be posting my results in a few weeks hopefully!
Thanks! The 4tb has been great for my work. I am not booting from it though, I'm booting from my 1tb drive and it's been great. The work I do on my 4tb is basically all of my image and video processing and so far it's been amazingly fast.
I have a Samsung 990 pro 4TB NVME M.2 SSD in my PS5. I have a 2TB Samsung 980 pro ssd and 1 or 2 1TB Samsung 980 pro M.2 ssd. However, the 4TB isn't large enough and I'm not looking to spend $1,000 for an 8TB M.2 ssd. I was hoping to build multiple external m.2 slots into a PCIE m.2 adapter and plug it in to the INTERNAL M.2 expansion slot with ADT-LINK Riser PCIe X4 3.0 PCI-E 4X to M.2. I don't know if the PS5 will still recognize the multiple M.2 slots. Any advice would be great.

cool stuff. how do you like 4tb versus 2tb, 1tb performance wise for booting system on laptop?
Thanks! The 4tb has been great for my work. I am not booting from it though, I'm booting from my 1tb drive and it's been great.

Can I run an NGFF through PCIE?
