I’ve not seen the term before, but ran into it today. I tried to search on the term, but only found it used and never defined. (In context, it doesn’t seem to be a misspelling of “NIB” but maybe it’s an alternative?)
Quick search says it could be a Notebook drive (so Nb drive). 2.5" drive? If so, bingo.

If it’s an older drive and there was a number in front of the “Nb”, it could be a typo for “Mb”…
… but it would have to be an older drive: they’ve mostly been described with “Gb” for a couple decades, and nowadays a fair share are labeled with “Tb”.

Nor have I. Could they be referring to NVMe drives?
I think it you’re right – it might be “notebook”.
I saw it on a Dell website where they said there was space for one 5.25" drive and two “Nb” drives".
…but ran into it today.
Please find and share the link to what you read.

This isn’t the specific page (which listed it as an “Nb” drive), but it’s close enough. After looking through a variety of listings, it seems to be a common usage. This one, though, makes it a bit clearer by adding the 2.5" qualifier while the page which prompted my post only said something like “two Nb drives”, hence my curiosity.
“Enjoy plenty of storage with capacity for one 3.5” HDD plus two 2.5" NB drives plus one internal optical drive."

Thanks BG, appreicate… seems that “NB” is referring to a 2.5" NoteBook drive. Have not found much more, other than a question asked on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/ask/questions/TxP000QSCDQMO3/
