Kan je deze zo in een laptop gebruiken of moet er een heatsink op en past ie dan nog wel in een laptop?
Check het formaat wat in je laptop past van te voren goed. Er zijn verschillende lengtes kans is aanwezig dat deze voor een laptop te lang is.
Wat is eigenlijk de reden dat een laptop geen heatsink nodig heeft en een ps5 wel? Beetje airflow?
Does a PS5 SSD need a heatsink?If we're listening to Sony, then the answer is a resounding 'yes'. The dedicated page(opens in new tab) on its site for installing an M.2 SSD in your PS5 says exactly that:
"Using an M.2 SSD with your PS5 console requires effective heat dissipation with a cooling structure, such as a heatsink and a heat transfer sheet."
Digital Foundry(opens in new tab) tested a PS5 with an SSD that has no heatsink and over the course of a few weeks, didn't notice any issues. But if an SSD is getting hot, its performance will undoubtedly be affected, running slower than intended.
At most, you could get away with buying an SSD first and then a heatsink a bit later. But if you want peak performance from your console, we recommend you do as Sony suggests and get a heatsink.
And buying a PS5 SSD with a built-in heatsink will save you having to deal with taking your machine apart and messing about in its innards more than you need to. Those faceplates are a nightmare to get off, after all.
