⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: NON-HEATSINK MODEL
This listing is for the standard **Non-Heatsink model (WDS100T1X0M)** with a low-profile thickness of just 2.38mm.
* It is perfect for installation under your motherboard's integrated M.2 heatsink shields or custom cooling setups.
* To achieve maximum performance and prevent thermal throttling, we **strongly recommend** using a high-quality motherboard M.2 cooling pad/heatsink.
* Requires a PCIe Gen 5 compatible motherboard slot to reach maximum rated speeds (backward compatible with PCIe Gen 4/Gen 3 at reduced speeds).
