I installed an SSD in my PS5 without a heatsink, and it works fine. But for peace of mind, a heatsink is a good idea.

Absolutely! A heatsink helps manage the heat and ensures your SSD runs optimally. Sony even recommends it for the PS5.

Total hot take here: you don't need it; just make sure your room is well-ventilated!

It's not strictly necessary, but if you want the best performance and longevity for your SSD, definitely get a heatsink.
