Thermalright HR-10 PRO Heatsink Prepared for Gen5 SSDs
Thermalright has quietly updated its product page this week, and has rolled out another SSD cooler that looks quite familiar. The HR-10 2280 PRO M.2 SSD heatsink is now featured on their website, where it sits close to a similar looking model - the now standard HR-10 2280. This non-PRO version was revealed late last month as a step up from the older HR-09 SSD heatsink. The brand new HR-10 2280 PRO sports a key upgrade over its passively cooled older siblings - a 30 mm 12 V cooling PWM fan has been integrated into the middle of the fin stack's body. Thermalright's latest M.2 heatsink also fully prepared for and compatible with the next generation of SSDs - its revised design will accommodate Gen 5 solid-state drive standards.
The HR-10 Pro is consists of four 5 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heatpipes that make contact with a user appointed M.2-2280 SSD, over a mirror-finish nickel-plated copper base-plate. The heatpipes loop through a dense aluminium fin-stack with slats designed to maximize surface area for highly effective heat dissipation. A die-cast metal top-plate with company branding completes the package. The HR-10 PRO weighs in at 95 g (so 10 g more than the standard HR-10). The heatsink measures 23.7 mm x 90.3 mm x 43.8 mm (WxDxH). Thermalright has not revealed any pricing or stock availability at the time of writing.

The same company makes a fanless 9 PRO that would be worth testing vs conventional (more reasonable?) ssd heatsinks.
While I don't think I, personally, need every last bit off ssd speed, I'd be curious to see objective info on how much this helps (my impression is even the mundane ones can help a fair bit, but...mostly vs super intense loads I'm unlikely to encounter in my use cases? maybe?). Benchmarking and content creation prolly really push the thermal envelope. My games? prolly not. My browsing? def not. My open office? hah, no.
what is the decibel level of this little fan?
Can't wait to be done with the first iteration of Gen 5 drivers. Hopefully the next ones will be faster and won't need active cooling courtesy of more efficient manufacturing nodes.
I will never do that again. If something requires a 40mm (or whatever tiny size) again, I simply won't use it.
I've slapped a waterblock on it. :D
So no whiny small fans...
PCIE GEN5 SSDs look like a silly joke so far. There are absolutely no need for such fast linear write speeds. ZERO. Where it matters they don't develop, because it is expensive.
Those extravagant useless coolers are a good mirror for the futilely of the 'gaming' fashion nowdays.
Seems like alot when they don't even beat GEN4 drives in the main thing you actually FEEL in daily use (4K Random)
Well, maybe some do get a little better performance in 4k Random, but its negligible
And my chipset normally sits at 60-62c and still can't hear it. So I think also depends on the motherboard one is using.

However no one says you have to run it at full speed. Just lock it at it lowest rpm or that rpm you can live with or you can just not plug it in. Problem solved.
This cooler has PWM fan. Connect it to motherboard 4 pin fan connector and go to bios and make a fan curve to your liking. It's not that hard to get a solution to this possible little noisy fan.
30mm fans are noisy. And if you lower the speed then they're pretty useless, blades are so small blowing air out of your mouth would cool down the heatsink faster.
Edit- if it was black it would sell like hotcakes!
As for the fan on this thing i be able to disable it with my case.
