Details
The Barrow HDM2280-PA is a full-cover water block for M.2 SSDs in the 2280 (22 x 80 mm) and 22110 (22 x 110 mm) sizes, PCIe or SATA, with chips on one or both sides. The drive slides into an aluminum shell, a nickel-plated copper plate covers the controller and memory chips, and a clear acrylic top with two G1/4" ports brings it into your loop.

Full cover for the drive
Barrow says the base plate covers the whole controller and the storage chips, so it keeps the drive cool under long reading and writing and helps it keep working at full speed.
Both sides cooled
The drive sits in an aluminum shell that also takes heat from the back. Barrow lists the block for 2280 and 22110 drives with chips on one or both sides, and for Optane memory.
Clear acrylic top
The water runs through a clear acrylic chamber between the two ports. The base plate is nickel-plated copper and the shell is anodized aluminum, both CNC-machined.
Installation
- Put the blue thermal pad on the back of the drive if it has no chips there, or the gray thermal pad if it has.
- Slide the drive into the shell, with the connector contacts and the screw notch left outside the shell.
- Put the blue silicone strip on the front of the drive, set the block on top and tighten the four fixing screws.
- Barrow says to use the included screws only, and to cover the back of the drive fully with the silicone pad to avoid a short circuit.
Standard G1/4" ports
The two G1/4" ports sit 39.7 mm apart on top and take standard fittings from our fittings, which are not in the box.
