Kingston NV3 1TB
Part numberSNV3S/1000G
The short answer
With a sequential read of 6000 MB/s over PCIe 4.0, the Kingston NV3 1TB (part number SNV3S/1000G) is an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD with 1 TB of capacity. It suits a mini PC owner with an M.2 2280 slot who wants plain storage, and it comes without a heatsink fitted.
Specifications
The drive holds 1 TB, enough for an operating system and your files on one stick. Its sequential read is 6000 MB/s on a PCIe 4.0 interface, which only shows in a slot that runs at PCIe 4.0. It is an M.2 2280 stick, so it needs a slot of that size. No heatsink is fitted, so check whether your machine's slot has its own cooling.

Which mini PCs it fits
An M.2 2280 NVMe drive needs an M.2 2280 slot. It fits the Lenovo ThinkCentre neo 50q Gen 5, MINISFORUM AI X1 Pro, MSI MAX Edge AI+ and ACEMAGIC F3A. The ACEMAGIC AM06 Pro, BMAX MaxMini B4 Ultra and Beelink EQ14 take it, but at PCIe 3.0 speed.
The Apple Mac Studio (M5 Max), Mac Studio (M5 Ultra) and Mac mini (M5 Pro) have no M.2 slot, so it does not fit. For the GMKtec NucBox M5 Plus and NIMO Mini PC Desktop AI Max+ 395, we have not confirmed it fits.
Checked against every mini PC sold on amazon.co.uk, from the specifications we hold for each machine.

Before you buy
Check the slot generation first: some of the machines above run this drive at PCIe 3.0 speed. Kingston does not state the sequential write speed, the endurance, whether it has a DRAM cache, or whether the drive is single-sided.
Common questions
Can I use the Kingston NV3 1TB in a Mac mini?
Not in the Apple Mac mini (M5 Pro), which has no M.2 slot, so there is nowhere to install an M.2 2280 drive. The Mac Studio models named above have the same limit.
Does it come with a heatsink?
No, this drive has no heatsink fitted. If your mini PC's M.2 slot has no cooling of its own, check that before installing it.
Will it run at full PCIe 4.0 speed in my mini PC?
Only if the slot runs at PCIe 4.0. The ACEMAGIC AM06 Pro, BMAX MaxMini B4 Ultra and Beelink EQ14 run it at PCIe 3.0 speed in their slot.
