M.2 SSD Cooler Jonsbo M.2-6 RED 2280 passive heatsink for 2280 NVMe/SATA drives

Jonsbo M.2-6 RED 2280 is a passive M.2 SSD cooler engineered for 2280-form factor NVMe and SATA drives. The compact aluminum heatsink mounts directly onto an M.2 drive to improve heat dissipation, helping maintain sustained performance and reducing the risk of thermal throttling in desktop and small-form-factor systems. Its low-profile design and red finish are intended to fit a variety of motherboards and cases where additional passive cooling for M.2 storage is required.

Advantages

The Jonsbo M.2-6 RED 2280 provides improved thermal conductivity compared with an uncooled module by increasing surface area and promoting heat transfer away from the SSD controller and NAND chips. As a passive solution it operates silently and requires no power or airflow control. The compact, low-profile form factor facilitates installation in tight spaces and small builds while the direct-attach design ensures consistent contact with the drive for efficient heat dispersion.

Suitable for

• Desktops and workstations with M.2 2280 NVMe or SATA SSDs
• Small-form-factor (SFF) cases where active cooling is limited
• Systems used for sustained workloads such as video editing, gaming, or heavy file transfers
• Upgrades where passive, maintenance-free thermal management is preferred

Key specifications

• Compatibility: M.2 2280 form factor (supports both NVMe and SATA M.2 drives)
• Cooling type: Passive heatsink (no fan)
• Material: Thermally conductive metal alloy (aluminum-based heatsink)
• Mounting: Direct-attach to M.2 module with thermal interface
• Profile: Low-profile design suitable for confined spaces
• Finish: Red anodized surface for appearance and corrosion resistance

How to use

Power down the system and unplug it before beginning installation. Remove the motherboard standoff or existing M.2 cover if necessary, then insert the M.2 2280 SSD into the socket at the correct angle and secure it per the motherboard instructions. Clean the drive surface if required, apply the included thermal pad or interface to the SSD surface, and align the Jonsbo M.2-6 RED 2280 heatsink directly on top of the module. Fasten the heatsink according to the enclosed mounting method to ensure consistent contact. Reassemble the system and verify proper operation and temperature behavior under typical workloads.

Recommendations

For optimal thermal performance, ensure the SSD-to-heatsink interface is clean and the thermal pad is correctly positioned. Use in systems with some chassis airflow when possible to aid passive dissipation. Verify clearance above the M.2 slot and confirm the motherboard mounting point is compatible with a 2280 low-profile heatsink before installation.
