EVO 980 PRO with heatsink for ASUS FX505DU?

I have an ASUS FX505DU laptop and I am very tempted to upgrade it's main storage, which currently stands at a paltry 256gb SSD. I am interested in a Samsung EVO 980 PRO with heatsink SSD, but I am not sure if it fits inside my laptop.

Does anyone have any idea on this?

You might want to call customer service and double-check before investing your time and money.I have used the 980 Pro in the past (512 GB) and although it didn't run really really hot, I also kept it under an aluminum heat sink with thermal pad so if it's possible for you, yes, get one. I would ask if one can fit in there--the support tab is on the same page at the top.

You’ve just gotta crack it open, measure/assess how much space there is inside and check against the published dimensions.

Is the heat sink really needed though? I’ve only got one cos it looks pretty!
