Sydneyblue Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I picked up a Samsung Pro today and i put it in the laptop. The thermal shield i order hasnt come yet.

Popcan Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 If you are asking if it will hurt it to run it without a shield, the answer is no *. The * being it will run hotter and possibly shorten its life overall if used hard. They will throttle and lower speeds if they get too hot. The airflow is quite good internally. I run one of mine without a cover but its just used for games. Its a risk i'm fine with, I don't keep anything important on them. both of my smaller drive don't have a cover either. all in all it probably has a very small effect on keeping them cool but i'm not an engineer and have not looked into it or tested anything. but I have been rocking my setup for 2 years with no issues.
