Kingston NV3 1 TB (SNV3SM3-1T0)

Kingston NV3 is a range of affordable PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs designed for rapid upgrades to laptops, desktop PCs, and compact devices where high speed, low heat output, and a sleek single-sided design are essential. The Kingston NV3 series is built on the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, uses 3D NAND technology, and is available not only in the standard M.2 2280 format but also in the compact M.2 2230 form factor, which is particularly important for ultraslim laptops, pocket PCs, and certain portable gaming systems. The Kingston NV3 lineup in the 2280 version includes capacities of 500 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB, while the 2230 format offers 500 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB. Maximum speeds across the series reach up to 6000 MB/s for reads and up to 5000 MB/s for writes, though specific performance depends on capacity: smaller models deliver lower speeds, while the larger 2–4 TB versions unlock the full potential of the lineup. Kingston NV3 also carries an MTBF rating of 2 million hours, TBW endurance of up to 1280 TB in the 4 TB version, an operating temperature range of 0–70 °C, and a thickness of 2.3 mm. This makes Kingston NV3 an excellent universal choice for transitioning to fast NVMe storage without overspending on high-end solutions.
