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.

Outside of enterprise / servers, the benefit of running Gen 5 is absolutely not worth this idiotic cooling requirement.
.................Unless of course the market is "creating" the consensus that Gen 5 NEEDS cooling to perform well and so they can create a new segment, for an otherwise stagnant heatsink market, with MASSIVE profitability = i.e. selling something 1/20th of the mass and size for the same 50$ as a CPU cooler.
But they wouldn't trick us like that right? :rolleyes:
At some point - and this pretty much has to happen before PCIe 5.0 SSDs become mainstream enough to be relevant - they will need to work in laptops with near-zero airflow and minimal cooling.
