Attach Heat Sink to the SSD
■ Attach the heat dissipation silicon pad to the SSD
Remove the film from the heat dissipation silicon pad and attach it to the
SSD.
This article explains how to attach the heat sink to the SSD. Although it is
possible to use without attaching the heat sink, it is recommended to at-
tach and use the heat sink because the SSD becomes hot during use.
About the mounting surface of the heat sink:
In the case of double-sided mounting, it is recommended to mount the
heat sink on the side where the controller IC is mounted. In the case of
single-sided mounting, it is better to attach the heat sink to the base
side where the chip is not mounted. Heat dissipation efficiency increases
(according to our tests).
