Due to the fact 2TB and more are thicker then 1TB or less, will 2TB fit in the case?
For example, the Kingston KC3000 2TB.
Which PCI version supports the case?
The KC3000 2TB heat sink makes it too wide.
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been using the using the Kingston - NV2 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe 2TB. So far so good. It’s used for recording TV, then running comskip to ‘remove’ commercials; and a bit of software testing. Hope this is useful:-
