This is absolutely no problem and will probably be the case with 99% of M.2 SSDs. I would rather give it a wide berth if this is not the case ;-)
No plug-in card with M.2 connector needs all contacts. From a design point of view, it is easier and cleaner to make all the contacts and simply connect only those that are needed.
In the following link you can see what could work with the M.2 connector:

根据我们的研究，金士顿 Fury Renegade 是一款双面 M.2 固态硬盘。为了安全起见，我建议你直接向制造商咨询。
According to our research, the Kingston Fury Renegade is a doublesided M.2 SSD. To be on the safe side, I recommend that you check with the manufacturer directly.
Thank you for your comment!
If you feel like it, please don't hesitate to use the 'Rating' function, which allows you to indicate a certain number of stars, add +/- for the product, and so on. :)
Please note that it is not an SSD with a SATA connection. The external enclosure requires an M.2 interface as it is on mainboards.
You can find an example here:

I wouldn't buy a dual-sided SSD for the notebook. I don't know the Fury, only the Studio and Firefly and Omen 16, but none of them have a high enough connector and the card can't be installed. I only use single-ended SSDs for notebooks - e.g. Samsung 980.
It is easier to use an SSD without a heat sink and install the SSD supplied by Delock.
The manufacturers of this type of card do not usually note exact compatibility between models, so in these circumstances it is better to use the standard format without a heat sink.
Operation on a mainboard in ATX format is possible and the memory is fast and reliable. For the cramped conditions in the notebook, the memory does not always seem to fit mechanically. The only solution is to switch to another product.
Neither QNAP nor Synology list this SSD as compatible with their NAS devices, and unfortunately we have no experience with this combination. Therefore, in this case, it might be best to contact the NAS manufacturer's support directly for accurate information
It depends on whether it's used intensively or not, for me it's useful if it's in a confined area, but in a tower pc, I don't see the difference in temperature, afterwards if it's a high resolution gamer, I think it makes a difference there.
This 2TB SSD is dual sided, i.e. it may or may not fit if the installation space is too small. There are also 2TB models that are single sided. Another very good SSD would be the WD Black SN770 with 2TB, which is single sided and very fast for an SSD without DRAM (in some tests even faster than the SN850X).
WD Black SN770 (2000 GB, M.2 2280)
The "FURY Renegade (4000 GB, M.2 2280)" SSD from Kingston is basically compatible with the ASUS ROG Flow X13, but there are some important details to consider:
- The ASUS ROG Flow X13 supports M.2 NVMe SSDs, but they must have the M.2 2230 form factor to fit in the available slot.
- The "FURY Renegade" has the M.2 2280 form factor, which is larger than the supported 2230 form factor.
Therefore, the "FURY Renegade (4000 GB, M.2 2280)" SSD does not physically fit into the M.2 slot of the ASUS ROG Flow X13. It would be advisable to choose an SSD with the M.2 2230 form factor to ensure a trouble-free installation.
Hello,
To begin with, there are two basic steps to check (probably already done but who knows.)
- in the BIOS (at startup press F2) does it recognise the hard drive? (in the BIOS go to / Advanced > SATA or Disk and look to see if the M.2 is detected.
- Some BIOSes need updating too:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/search.html?ws=text#sort=relevancy&layout=table
Check that the M.2 disk is properly clipped into the slot (this has already happened to me). Remove and replace it, or change the M.2 slot,
If this does not change anything, disable VMD in the BIOS,
If this does not change anything, the hard disk may not be mounted (initialised). In Windows, open Disc Manager and initialise the disk,
If it is, at worst test it in another PC.
Note that the Fury M.2 is PCI Gen 4 and the NUC 11 does not support Gen4 but Gen3. The M.2 Fury will therefore work in Gen3.
Hello all
I have a question which is actually already 95% answered, but there is still a slight confusion regarding an answer above;
My interest is in the 1000 or 2000 GB model of Kingston's Fury to put into the PS5.
This should be no problem and a suitable memory expansion...?
But, is the integrated heatsink too big or not??? And what would this mean for the installation? I don't feel like wasting 200 CHF.
I'm just a loaner in this respect, installation is child's play, but can the 1TB and 2TB models be used 1:1 for the PS5? In the sense of, unpack it and put it in the PS5, done?
Or is another model generally more suitable for the PS5?
Thank you very much for the clarification and information.
Regards
I can't answer the question conclusively because I don't know what this desktop looks like inside. The SSD is m.2 (i.e. the small version and not 2.5" in size). It is NVMe (so it needs the corresponding PCI slot, not just SATA). I don't know of any PC that has several such slots. In my case, I use the SSD as a system drive. I cloned the existing system onto this disk.
All other hard disks are 2.5" SSD (SATA).
Conclusion: If the existing system disk is M.2 NVMe, you can replace it with another hard disk.
