Jiushark M.2 Three: Tower cooler with optional fan for M.2 SSDs

Currently, the trend is for M.2 SSDs to get warmer, especially with the introduction of fast PCI Express 5.0-capable M.2 SSDs that will accompany AMD’s upcoming Zen 4 processors, for example. Adequate cooling solutions are suitable for this, which are increasingly being presented with an aluminum tower. For example, the M.2 Three from the Chinese manufacturer Jiushark.

Specifications for Jiushark M.2 Three

According to the manufacturer, the SSD cooler is 82 mm high, 74 mm long and 24.5 mm thick. Optionally, a fan can be mounted on both sides of the cooler, which would increase the thickness to 35.5 mm. Jiushark provides a 6610 fan for the M.2 Three, the diameter of which is 60 mm. In addition, it should be able to rotate at 3,000 rpm, have an air flow rate of 23.8 m³/h and generate up to 25.4 dB(A) of noise.

As described, the M.2 Three is a tower-shaped aluminum block with 27 fins and pre-applied thermal paste. In addition, a single heat pipe threads through the fins of the cooler, which comes with a nickel and copper coating. A holding mechanism made of stainless steel is also emblazoned to fasten the cooler in the appropriate place. However, the SSD cooler is not heavy: the M.2 Three should weigh 113 grams, which is quite light compared to a tower CPU cooler, which can weigh more than half a kilogram.

Jiushark also provides a cooling performance chart for illustration. The three bars show the states of the M.2 Three, one fan-cooled and one passive, i.e. without a fan, next to an uncooled SSD, which in Jiushark’s test is a 980 Pro with 500 GB from Samsung at an ambient temperature of 25 degrees Celsius should act.

The top diagram shows the temperatures of the flash NAND and the bottom shows the temperatures of the SSD controller. So if the chart is to be believed, the fan-cooled M.2 Three cuts temperatures in half. The tower cooler from Jiushark should be available with bare aluminum on the one hand and as a blackened version on the other. The latter is probably a bit more expensive and costs the equivalent of $13.30 instead of $8.80.
