The Kingston NV3 1TB (SNV3S/1000G) is an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD with a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, delivering sequential read speeds of up to 6,000MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 4,000MB/s. It uses 3D NAND, is rated for 320TBW of endurance, and carries a 2-million-hour MTBF. It runs cool with lower power draw, so it suits thin laptops, small-form-factor PCs, and desktop upgrades, and it gives a gaming PC, workstation, or everyday laptop far faster boot, load, and file-transfer times than a SATA SSD or hard drive.

PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe PERFORMANCE

The NV3 uses a Gen 4x4 NVMe controller to reach up to 6,000MB/s read and 4,000MB/s write. That is more than 10× the read speed of a SATA SSD (about 550MB/s) and far beyond a hard drive. Windows boots faster, games and applications load sooner, and large video, photo, and project files copy in seconds.

1TB CAPACITY

1TB (1000GB) holds your operating system, applications, a large game library, documents, photos, and videos on one drive. It is a practical single-drive size for most gaming PCs and laptops.

LOW POWER, LESS HEAT

Kingston designed the NV3 for lower power consumption and reduced heat, which helps battery life in laptops and keeps temperatures in check inside small cases. It operates at 0–70°C.

M.2 2280 FORM FACTOR: IDEAL FOR LIMITED SPACE

The M.2 2280 design (22 × 80 × 2.3mm, 7g) fits thin laptops, mini PCs, and desktop motherboards with an M.2 slot. Check that your device has a free M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe slot before buying.

320TBW ENDURANCE + 2M HOURS MTBF

The 320TB Total Bytes Written rating and 2,000,000-hour MTBF give the drive lasting reliability for daily use, and 3D NAND supports dependable long-term performance.

ACRONIS CLONING SOFTWARE

Includes Acronis cloning software to copy your existing drive to the NV3 without reinstalling Windows.

5-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

Backed by Kingston's 5-year limited warranty.

BUILT FOR
