SECOND CONFIGURATION THERMAL PAD SELECTION AND PLACEMENT
STEP 1
The second hole alignment configuration is dedicated for M.2
drives with 2 TB storage and 4 TB storage. The picture below
represents the thermal pad selection approved by EK testing
on Firecuda 530 SSD drives. The use of thermal pad thickness
may variate for each M.2 SSD drive manufacturer as we cannot
guarantee the same height of chips on each. Check for proper
thermal pad contact once the heatsink is assembled. EK provided
you with two (2) thermal pads - 0.5 mm thickness and two (2)
thermal pads - 1 mm thickness so you can easily choose between
the most optimal thickness for your drive.
