As long as the PC case has decent airflow and not have crazy amount of heat build-up internally and become like a sauna (like the game consoles), the SSD should be fine without a heatsink

I know you posted it earlier but expired it. I thought it's worth putting back up

I'd get this as its on offer.
Superb performance (esp on writes) and better endurance than the other two. (edited)

Can you show a pic on Crystaldiskinfo? I got mine today and did a few tests with Crystaldiskmark but when I checked with diskinfo it was showing Total host reads and writes of around 500Gb with Power on count=1 and power on hours=0.
Ran another Crystaldiskmark test while Crystaldiskinfo was running and it added another 150gb in just one test when I refreshed it. That is alot of reads and writes added by Crystaldiskmark .

Normal copying of a 50Gb game added around 50GB to the total so at least that is normal behaviour.

Yes
