Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB with Heatsink
Part numberMZ-VAP2T0CW
The short answer
Endurance of 1200 TBW and a heatsink already on the drive mark the Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB with Heatsink, part number MZ-VAP2T0CW. It is a 2 TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD on PCIe 5.0, for a mini PC owner with a free slot of that size who wants a fast drive with a DRAM cache.
Specifications
The drive holds 2 TB. Sequential reads reach 14700 MB/s and writes reach 13400 MB/s on its PCIe 5.0 interface. Samsung states an endurance of 1200 TBW, a measure of how much data you can write to it over its life. A DRAM cache is present, and the heatsink comes fitted.

Which mini PCs it fits
An M.2 2280 NVMe drive goes in an M.2 2280 slot. We have no machine to name that takes it with no condition. The Beelink SER9 and GEEKOM A8 Max take it, but check clearance because of the heatsink. The Dell Pro Max Micro FCM2250 takes it after the same clearance check, but runs it at PCIe 4.0 speed there. 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 ACEMAGIC AM08 Pro and GMKtec NucBox M5 Plus, 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
Because the heatsink adds bulk, check the clearance above the slot in your machine before buying. The Dell Pro Max Micro FCM2250 runs this drive at PCIe 4.0 speed, so check the slot generation on your own machine too. Samsung does not state whether the drive is single-sided.
Common questions
Will this Samsung 9100 PRO fit my mini PC?
It needs an M.2 2280 slot. The Beelink SER9 and GEEKOM A8 Max take it after a clearance check for the heatsink, while the Apple Mac mini (M6) has no M.2 slot.
Will it run at full PCIe 5.0 speed in my machine?
Not always. The drive is PCIe 5.0, but the Dell Pro Max Micro FCM2250 runs it at PCIe 4.0 speed in its slot, so check the slot generation on your own machine.
Does this drive come with a heatsink?
Yes, a heatsink is already fitted to this drive. That adds bulk, so check the clearance around the slot in your mini PC before buying, as the Beelink SER9 note says.
