All,
I currently have an iMac 2019 27" 5K Retina in which I upgraded the CPU from the i5 to a 3,6 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 and the NVME with the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB.
All works "fine" except that due to the know TRIM issue with the Samsung 970 EVO I am getting boot time above 7 mins. As such I am looking to upgrade/replace that NVME with something that is better supported. I read somewhere that WD NVMEs have better TRIM support. And given I am going to go into the fuss of openning the machine again, I thought I may as well upgrade the storage, so I would like to ask:

- Has anyone used the WD Black SN850X 4TB in their iMac upgrades?
- Do I need to worry about a heat sync? I can only get the model without a heatsink (WDS400T2X0E).
- If a heatsink is recommended, can you propose one?
