The thermal pad is useless without a heat sink. It actually might increase the temps of the NVME, not something that would be detrimental, but not needed. Great video though.
@@killerthegamer7399Thermal pads are meant to transfer heat, if it has nowhere to transfer, it's actually insulating. On a 2nd look at this video a year later, I probably would add a low profile heatsink to that nvme.

Why was it missing the SATA hard drive already when you opened it? Mine has a ASU720SS 500G stock installed.

You do need to be more careful with HDD's than SSD's. But if you want external storage, they are both usually inside protective covers. I would still choose ssd, because they are quite a bit faster.
