Nope. Unless your heatsink is maybe 1/16" high. On the other hand, I saw other answers that said the pad they include is a "thermal pad", so maybe it's transmitting the heat to the case. Others also noticed how warm the case got after awhile. I only used it to transfer files, so I didn't use it long enough to witness any heat-related issues.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, you either have to take off the heat sink or take apart the enclosure to fit it.
