Details
The Barrow HDM2280-FT is an aluminum heatsink for M.2 SSDs in the 2280 and 22110 sizes with two small fans built into the top cover. The heatsink closes around the drive from both sides and covers the controller and memory chips, and two fans running at more than 10000 RPM blow through a straight air channel over it. It takes single- and double-sided PCIe and SATA drives. This listing is the black version.

Active cooling for hot drives
Barrow says the baseplate covers the controller and the storage chips of the drive completely, which keeps the temperature down under continuous reading and writing. On top, two high-speed fans running at more than 10000 RPM push air through a straight air channel along the heatsink.
Fits 2280 and 22110 drives
Barrow makes the HDM2280-FT for M.2 drives in the 2280 and 22110 lengths, with chips on one side or both sides, and lists Optane memory as well. The heatsink is CNC-machined from aluminum alloy with an anodized surface, and is 72 mm long, 23.9 mm wide and 16.7 mm high.
Power from a 5V header
The fans take their power from the Barrow LRC 2.0 lighting power connection. Barrow asks you to check that your motherboard has a 5V power header for it; if it does not, you need a Barrow lighting controller, which is sold separately.
Installation
- Put a thermal pad on the drive: Barrow uses the blue pad when the back of the drive has no chips and the gray pad when it does. Peel the protective film off the pads first.
- Slide the drive gently into the heatsink. The connector edge and the notch of the drive must stay outside the heatsink.
- Put the blue silicone strip on the front of the drive, set the top cover in place and tighten the four fixing screws.

Notes
