News MSI heralds ‘revolutionary’ Spatium M570 Pro Frozr PCIe 5.0 SSD – claims towering cooler delivers 20-degree temperature reduction

M.2 drives typically have one tiny screw holding it in place, (and of course the edge connector). Does this heat sink have some kind of additional mounting capability?

This looks like you could snap the whole M.2 drive off with one good bump into the computer. (Moving it around or whatever).

Did I miss something? (Still drinking my morning coffee).

They're not particularly heavy as they tend to be made out of aluminum. Thermalright has a dual heatpipe cooler with a fan that is 95g, and their tall one which is similar in size to this MSI one weighs 90g.
 
and in any gaming rig (barring MB's with a m.2 to SE of gpu) this will not fit due to the GPU being too close to the M.2 slot.
Even if it does 'fit' most of the 5.0 NVMe slots I've seen are close enough that this would block some of the air to the GPU. Or perhaps feed it warmer air having come through the fins.
 
This is become hilariously stupid...
for most application Gen3 or even SATA SSDs have provide fast enough random I/O that latency isn't a big issue, as for throughput, yes Gen 3+ are more preferrable in practical terms (I believe most users don't do internal file transfer daily...) and most of the throughput is like Downloading huge game files online, which gen 3 already far exceed any fiber connection. Speed increase is great, but say compared to a much cheaper Gen 4 SSD (WD 850X, Segate 530, Samsung 990 pro... list goes on) going from using no H/S or the motherboard integrated HS to this is ridiculous, not to say those who would want the TOTL SSD likely have a very hot GPU, which the backplate touching that HS don't seem to be a good idea anyway

Great you've got a nice shiny fast NVMe, now how about a nice big fat slab of SSD for read storage 4TB+ at a silly low price and general sata3 speeds, for us who just want to replace spinners? If somebody came up with that, I'd buy a bunch straight away for my servers.

There is a bottom piece that screws to that top heatsinkand sandwiches the SSD between. The bottom part also act as heat dissipation. There is also thermal pads between the SSD and each layer.
 
There is a not so well known brand called Thermalright, I believe they are out of Taiwan. They have many models of SSD coolers, and one similar to this. I like the Thermalright products and would like to see this MSI cooler tested beside the Thermalright HR10 2280, and HR10 2280 pro. It would be nice to see how they differ from each other. This SSD cooler market seems like it about to "heat" up.
