Part numberSNV3S/2000G
The short answer
Two terabytes in the standard M.2 2280 size is what the Kingston NV3 2TB (part number SNV3S/2000G) offers, over NVMe on PCIe 4.0 with a sequential read of 6000 MB/s. It is for a mini PC owner with a free M.2 2280 slot who wants roomy storage, and it has no heatsink fitted.
Specifications
Capacity is 2 TB. The sequential read of 6000 MB/s comes with a PCIe 4.0 interface, which only a PCIe 4.0 slot can fully use. The size is M.2 2280, so it needs a slot of that length. No heatsink is fitted, so the drive arrives bare.

Which mini PCs it fits
An M.2 2280 NVMe drive goes in an M.2 2280 slot. This one fits the MINISFORUM AtomMan G7 Pro, MSI MAX Edge AI+, ACEMAGIC F3A and ASUS ExpertCenter PN65. The GMKtec NucBox G10, ACEMAGIC AM06 Pro and BMAX MaxMini B4 Ultra take it, but at PCIe 3.0 speed. The Apple Mac mini (M6), Mac Studio (M5 Max) and Mac Studio (M5 Ultra) have no M.2 slot, so it does not fit. For the NIMO Mini PC Desktop AI Max+ 395 and ACEMAGIC AM08 Pro, we have not confirmed it fits, because their number of M.2 slots is not confirmed.

Before you buy
Kingston does not state the sequential write speed, the endurance, whether the drive has a DRAM cache, or whether it is single-sided. The last one matters if your machine has little clearance around the slot, so check that first. In the PCIe 3.0 machines named above, the drive works but cannot use its full interface speed.
Common questions
Does the Kingston NV3 2TB fit a Mac mini?
No. The Apple Mac mini (M6) has no M.2 slot, and neither do the Mac Studio (M5 Max) or Mac Studio (M5 Ultra), so an M.2 2280 drive has nowhere to go.
Will it run at full speed in a PCIe 3.0 slot?
No. In the GMKtec NucBox G10, ACEMAGIC AM06 Pro and BMAX MaxMini B4 Ultra it runs at PCIe 3.0 speed, though the drive is PCIe 4.0 with a 6000 MB/s sequential read.
Does it come with a heatsink?
No, it is sold without a heatsink fitted. Kingston also does not state whether the drive is single-sided, so check the clearance in your machine before buying.
