firecuda 530 2tb + alecgear heatstick installation on ps5

#2
Hello Enrico! To mount the FireCuda 530 2TB without heatsink onto your PS5 with the Alecgear heatsink, you can follow these steps:

Apply a thermal pad on the controller of the FireCuda 530. You can use a thermal pad with a thickness of around 0.5mm to 1mm, depending on the thickness of the heatsink.

Place the FireCuda 530 on the Alecgear heatsink. Make sure that the SATA connector is facing downwards.

Apply a thermal pad on the back side of the FireCuda 530. Again, you can use a thermal pad with a thickness of around 0.5mm to 1mm.

Place the spongy shims underneath the FireCuda 530. These shims will help ensure that the drive is aligned properly and is making good contact with the heatsink.

Gently press down on the heatsink to ensure that it is firmly attached to the FireCuda 530.

With these steps, you should be able to mount the FireCuda 530 onto your PS5 with the Alecgear heatsink. Just be sure to monitor the temperatures to ensure that the drive is not overheating.
