This is the best overall experience that I have had with SSD coolers. This one in particular is very good because it comes with the heatsink and the thermal paste strip to apply with it. It is very easy to install and put on the SSD. 5 STARS

This heatsink came free with my NVMe purchase.
The instructions were easy to follow. I had my NVMe drive in this Heatsink in a matter of minutes.
I've dealt with a couple different style NVMe Heatsinks previously. I now prefer this dual sided style.
The spring or clip style heatsinks feel like I might exert too much force on a single component and may accidentally short it out. Some other heatsinks use silicone bands to hold it together, but I feel like they may snap someday and it isn't easy to get the silicone bands into the right spot. Both of these styles only conduct heat from one side.
This Insignia Heatsink comes in two pieces. A U-channel piece and a cover. It also comes with two thermal pads, one on top of your NVMe and one on the bottom. Everything is held together with 4 screws. I had no issues tightening it down with the included screwdriver.
Any time I need an NVMe heatsink, I'll be looking for this Insignia one first.

Keeps the M.2 in My Niece's and My PS5's cool an running perfect. No issues at all, installation was really easy with a few screws an some thermal pads. Make sure to remove the clear protective peel on the thermal pads before installing.

Perfect fit for the PS5. Comes with everything you need and has sturdy construction. I used a WD SN850 inside and it runs without slowdown in my PS5. Highly recommended for an affordable option if your SSD didn't come heatsink equipped.

I got this heatsink included with my purchase of a Crucial SSD and I couldn't be more satisfied. Fits perfectly in a PS5 or on your PC motherboard. Installation is simple, just screwing on the encloser after fitting in the SSD with the thermal pads. Would definitely recommend.

Bought it to use it with WD 850 NVMe 4TB. Installation is very easy. Even in the awkward position I put the SSD (under a RTX3090), it still manages to lower the temperature 6 C. Good buy.

Not sure how much these actually help, but I've never had an SSD go out with one of these on them. Super easy to install as well. Feels like a good, solid piece of metal.

It works as you would expect a heatsink to in a small enough form that it fits inside a thin client HP 600 G2. My biggest complaint would be a lack of heat pad open sizes. My M.2 coral had massive gap between the pad and the top plate. Since the chip was only on half the board, I folded it in half to fill the void. And that was using the thicker of two included pads.
I did end up swapping in a traditional M.2 into this and there was still a gap.
So TLDR, make sure you have extra thickness heat pads. To accommodate your drive
