Does the stock SSD that comes with AN515-54 have heatsink?

I'm gonna replace the SSD soon and I wanna know if I need to be concerned about a heatsink for the new SSD.

@ynwa1227 wow, I watched this video a while ago and didn't notice that he forgot to put the thermal pad back. The SSD might throttle during heavy load if the thermal pad is not included.

In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVTwob88cNw at 15:09 the old SSD appears to have some kind of thermal pad on it, while with the new SSD at 15:48 it seems like there's none? Won't this cause problems? Please someone enlighten me.. I need to buy the SSD today

Electronic products sold in some stores operate at a voltage of (110-120) volts, and here a power converter is required for the device to operate efficiently and smoothly. It is necessary to know the electrical capacitance of the device in order to choose the appropriate power transformer. It is better to use the recommended power adapters

@ynwa1227 it should have a thermal pad sticks to the metal heatsink by default.

So should I just ignore the pads that come with the new SSD and just use the one that's taped in the metal heatsink? If that's the case, I guess it's better for me to place the new SSD in the unused slot of the SSD even if I'm taking the old SSD out? Since the pad from the old one would be worn out..

@ynwa1227 yes, you can use the original pad from the laptop. The pad from the old SSD can still be reused.

I've imaged the Windows ISO file to USB but BIOS doesn't detect it.. Please help

It's fine now, I managed to make the USB to boot from BIOS. I just need to wait for the Adata SSD to come tomorrow 😊

Btw, did the old man in the video above ***** up? He didn't put the old thermal pad back.. See 15:09 where he removed the old SSD along with the thermal pad and at 15:48 he just put the new SSD in without the thermal pad.
