The EK-Quantum Convection M. 2 NVMe is a passive aluminum heatsink for M. 2 NVMe solid state drives. Although it's not a water cooling component, it is a much-needed aesthetic and cooling solution for many PC owners. It's no secret that M. 2 NVMe SSDs can easily overheat and be subdued to thermal throttling, thus losing performance. However, this latest heatsink will completely prevent thermal throttling in cases with sufficient airflow or otherwise significantly prolong the time before thermal throttling of the SSD occurs. Compatibility The EK-Quantum Convection M.
2 NVMe is compatible with all single- and double-sided 2280 M. 2 NVMe SSDs (22mm wide, 80mm long). Because the heatsink consists of a front piece and backplate, the compatibility is limited to M. 2 (NGFF) connectors with 4.2 mm height (as seen in the examples). Also, capacities of up to 4TB were tested and found compatible. What Is a Single and What Is a Double-Sided M. 2 SSD? Single-sided M. 2 NVMe SSDs only have chips on one side of the PCB. This means all the storage and controller electronics are placed on one side of the drive, hence the name, single-sided.
These drives are smaller and generate less heat. Double-sided M. 2 NMVe drives have chips on both sides of the PCB. These drives usually offer more storage capacity by adding flash memory storage chips on both sides of the drive.
