Suits builders confirming the exact part number

This unit matches part numbers 01FR596, MZVLB1T0HBLR-000L2 and 11S01FR596, so it fits systems that require those specific identifiers. Buyers who need a different capacity, a different physical keying, or a drive validated for another part-number list should look elsewhere because this module is fixed at 1TB with the stated firmware.

PCI Express 3.0 x4 NVMe interface
