be quiet! MC1 M.2 SSD Cooler BZ002 - 2280 Heatsink
The be quiet! MC1 M.2 SSD Cooler BZ002 is a passive heatsink designed for builders and console upgraders who need to keep their M.2 2280 SSD running at full read/write speed without thermal throttling. It fits both single and double sided M.2 2280 modules and is sized to work inside a PlayStation 5, making it a straightforward choice for anyone adding storage to that console.
Why this product
Passive cooling, no moving parts
The MC1 relies entirely on passive heat dissipation, so there are no fans to fail or generate noise.
Single and double sided module support
It accommodates both single and double sided M.2 2280 modules, covering the majority of NVMe and SATA drives in that form factor.
PlayStation 5 compatible
The dimensions are sized to fit within the M.2 SSD expansion slot of a PlayStation 5, satisfying Sony's cooler requirement for that slot.
Thermal pads included on both sides
Thermal pads come pre-applied to the cooler and the included cooling backplate, so no additional thermal interface material is needed.
Everything needed in the box
The package includes the cooler, a cooling backplate, four M2 screws and a cross-tip screwdriver, so installation requires no extra tools.

Best for
- PS5 storage expanders who need a cooler that physically fits the console's M.2 slot and meets its cooling requirement.
- Silent build enthusiasts who want thermal management without adding any fan noise to their system.
- PC builders using M.2 2280 SSDs on motherboards with limited or no built-in M.2 heatsink coverage.
- Users with double sided M.2 modules, as the included cooling backplate addresses heat from the underside of the drive as well.
Trade-offs
- M.2 drives in other lengths — only the 2280 form factor is listed as supported.
- Builds requiring active cooling — the MC1 is a passive heatsink with no fan or active airflow component.
- Motherboards with factory M.2 heatsinks already installed that fully cover the slot, where adding a second cooler is not possible.
The M.2 SSD cooler MC1 provides efficient cooling, enabling maximum read/write speed for single and double sided M.2 2280 modules.
The MC1 enables lower temperatures for the M.2 SSD, which allows it to run at full performance for an extended timespan. It fits both single and double sided M.2 2280 modules.
For shorter loading times and more free space the PlayStation5 can be extended with an M.2 SSD. Thanks to its ideal dimensions, the be quiet! MC1 is suited perfectly to provide the necessary cooling power for the extended memory.
