I came across a Youtube video, which recommended the use of heatsinking an m2 ssd. I had heard previously, that this was not necessary. As an experiment, I placed a finger on mine, and it was barely warm. Then I ran CrystalDisk Mark, and after a few minutes, the ssd got way to hot to touch, for more than a few seconds.
Using HarwareInfo 64, the ssd was 38 degrees at idle, and went to 67 during my test. I purchased an ssd heatsink, IVYNSRY, model HT-001, and retested, with the following results. Idle 34 degrees, maximum 42, a 25 degree difference maximum.
As other websites have reported, there was NO difference in performance, but there is a likely difference in long term longevity, of the ssd.
I have zero $, or any other interest, in this company, and from a little more searching, it appears likely, that there are numerous other makers of such a device, that will give comparable results.
I would heartily recommend such a device.
