Make sure you order the heatsink version
Look at the model code as well as the title. Lexar gives its heatsink SKUs their own codes, and we classify listings from those, not from description text that can mention a heatsink the box does not contain.
Of the 12 Lexar heatsink listings in stock, 7 are tagged "Fits PS5". If the heatsink version costs much more than the bare drive, compare with bare PS5 SSDs plus a slim standalone heatsink.
