seems "ok" IMO, but, how thick are the heatspreaders is important as well am sure at least some motherboards if the heatspreader is too thick will make impossible to use (such as the ones that use heatshield, or fancy "clips" for use on reverse side of motherboard.
I do like the look of them however...I wonder why I have never seen one that uses a thin spreader with heatpipes off towards the rear edge to help dissipate more heat quicker?
they use flat pipe style in laptops afterall ^.^ ~$311 CAD for 480gb is pricey though IMO, need real world testing vs other NVME style drives because "specs" only matter so much.
does look snazzy though if it has the "curves" as the picture seem to allude to having O.O
"A pre-installed heat spreader on the Gammix S11 can make a lot of sense for gamers if their storage devices perform tons of read operations when they load games."
And what does the regular version of this SSD (the one with the optional heat spreader) do when subjected to such an oh-so-demanding workload?

Throttle and thus be a bit slower?zodiacfml - Friday, April 6, 2018 - link
No. Loading games is actually one of the least loads for an SSD.The heat spreader does make it look better for some who wants it.

copying terabytes of data back and forth between two M.2 NVMes is my favorite eSportvalinor89 - Friday, April 6, 2018 - link
What? No RGB??? Nowadays a product is not worth the "gaming" qualification if it doesn't have RGB LEDs. /s
