Akasa today introduced the Gecko Pro LX SSD cooler (model: A-M2HS04-BK), designed for drives in the M.2-2280 form-factor. The cooler is a fan-heatsink featuring an extruded aluminium monoblock heatsink that's ventilated by a 20 mm fan. The heatsink makes contact with the business end of the drive over a thermal pad that can adjust for Z-height differences between the various components. There is a second thermal pad included that's meant to be installed on the reverse side of the drive, making contact with the "taco shell" retention module.

The 20 mm fan of the Akasa Gecko Pro LX turns at speeds of up to 12,000 RPM, pushing 0.7 CFM of airflow at 4.00 mm H₂O static pressure, and a maximum noise of 26 dBA. Akasa rates the durability of this fan at 60,000 hours. The fan features a standard 4-pin PWM connector, so you can adjust its speed between 3,600 RPM to its top 12,000 RPM. Measuring 70 mm x 25 mm x 21.9 mm (LxWxH), the cooler weighs about 53 g. Akasa didn't reveal pricing, but mentioned that the drive will be backed by a 2-year warranty.
