Reading the fit badges at 1TB
A row tagged "Fits PS5" is the heatsink version of a model in the table above. A row tagged "Check height" has a heatsink we have not been able to verify, usually from a smaller brand: compare the listing's stated height with 11.25mm before you buy.
1TB drives are single-sided almost without exception. With nothing under the board, a top-mounted heatsink has the full 8.0mm above it to work with.
