M.2 2230 Thermal Bracket for Alienware 15 17 R2

This replacement bracket secures an M.2 2230 solid-state drive inside Dell Alienware M15 R2 and M17 R2 laptops. It restores the original thermal support function for the storage slot. The part matches the 8856F and CN-08856F designations used by the manufacturer. Builders repairing a missing or damaged bracket can install this item directly.

Bracket restores factory cooling contact for the SSD

The metal bracket presses the drive against the system thermal pad to transfer heat into the laptop cooling assembly. Without it, the drive can throttle under sustained workloads. The package contains only the bracket; no thermal pad, screws or tools are included. Buyers who need a fresh thermal pad or mounting hardware must source those separately.

Questions about this item

Will the thermal pad on the 8856F bracket need replacing over time?

The bracket is a metal support; any thermal pad between it and the 2230 SSD is a separate consumable you would replace during routine maintenance.

What is the first limit reached when the 2230 SSD runs under sustained load in an Alienware 15 or 17 R2?

The SSD itself will hit its thermal throttle point before the 8856F bracket reaches any structural limit.
