Hello rjj123, The WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe SSD drives have an optional heatsink version that not only looks awesome but also helps your rig maintain peak performance through the most intense gaming sessions.

This will work in any M.2 2280 slot. It is backwards compatible and will work with PCIE 4.0 or 3.0 and will give you more speed regardless of the 3.0 I was shocked.

yes this one does not have a heatsink but they do sell with heatsink on but for more money probably like 10-12 dollars more and for this ssd to be compatible with an laptop if you want the full speed of gen4 the laptop it self needs to have gen4 speeds if the laptop has only gen3 it will still work just it will only run in gen3 speeds and make sure the laptop has a m.2 NVMe 2280 connection.
