The same part under other regional numbers: MZ-VAP8T0BW
The short answer
One drive, 8 TB, in the M.2 2280 format: the Samsung 9100 PRO 8TB (part number MZ-VAP8T0B/AM) is an NVMe SSD that runs on PCIe 5.0. It is for a mini PC owner with a free M.2 2280 slot who wants one large, fast drive instead of several smaller ones.
Specifications
Sequential read is 14800 MB/s and sequential write is 13400 MB/s, though a slot running at a lower PCIe speed holds that back. Endurance is 4800 TBW, and the drive has a DRAM cache. It comes with no heatsink fitted, and it is not single-sided, so check cooling and clearance in your machine's slot before you buy.

Which mini PCs it fits
An M.2 2280 NVMe drive needs an M.2 2280 slot, and its PCIe 5.0 speed needs a slot that runs at PCIe 5.0. It fits the Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny Gen 2 and the MINISFORUM AI X1 Pro. The MINISFORUM MS-01 takes it but at PCIe 4.0 speed, and the ACEMAGIC AM06 Pro at PCIe 3.0 speed. The Apple Mac mini (M6) has no M.2 slot, so it does not fit. For the ACEMAGIC AM08 Pro we have not confirmed it fits, because we do not have its number of M.2 slots.
Checked against every mini PC sold on amazon.com, from the specifications we hold for each machine.

Before you buy
Some machines run this drive below its PCIe 5.0 speed, such as the Lenovo ThinkCentre M90q Gen 5 at PCIe 4.0. The drive is bare, so your machine has to supply any cooling. For machines whose M.2 slot count we do not have, check your own before ordering.
Common questions
Will it run at full speed in my mini PC?
Only in a slot that runs at PCIe 5.0. The Lenovo ThinkCentre M90q Gen 5 runs it at PCIe 4.0 speed, and the ACEMAGIC AM06 Pro runs it at PCIe 3.0 speed.
Does it come with a heatsink?
No. It has no heatsink fitted, and it is not single-sided, so check the cooling and clearance in your machine's M.2 slot before you buy it.
Can I put it in a Mac mini?
No. The Apple Mac mini (M6) and the Apple Mac Studio (M5 Max) have no M.2 slot, and this M.2 2280 drive needs one.
