Can anyone tell me if the following SSD is compatible with the NUC8i7HVK? addlink S70 1TB SSD NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 Solid State Drive with Read 3400 MB/s/Write 3000 MB/s

My concern is I don't see the notch on the top to allow it to be secured. I can't tell in the attached image if it's covered up by some sort of packaging.

CSmit31,

The compatibility questions, when answered by Intel, will always have the disclaimer of Intel can only recommend Intel tested reviews in their answers.

Will the SSD work with the NUC8i7HVK, most likely.

As for the notch at the top used to secure down the M.2. it's a manufacturing standard and should be part of the design, and likely underneath the wrapping.

I cannot find a single picture that shows it uncovered. You can ask the question on Amazon and perhaps someone can answer you there.

I suspect that this drive has not compatible mount (i.e. it doesn't have a notch for screw). I can see two other SSD in addlink site: S80 and X70 - see the attached images, where this notch is clearly visible.
