NV3 1TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe

The Kingston NV3 is a 1TB internal solid state drive built on a single-sided M.2 2280 PCB. It uses 3D TLC NAND and a Phison PS5021-E21 controller to deliver up to 6000MB/s read and 4000MB/s write speeds for desktops, laptops and compact handheld consoles.

Upgrade from slower NVMe or hard drives

Replacing an older PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive or a mechanical hard drive with the NV3 brings sustained sequential reads of 6000MB/s and writes of 4000MB/s, plus 420,000 random read IOPS and 390,000 random write IOPS. The jump is worth it when game loading, large file transfers or video editing workflows need higher throughput and 320TBW endurance.

Fits slim builds without extra cooling

The thin, single-sided design draws a typical 3.2W active and 0.07W idle, producing low heat so no separate heatsink is required. It slots into any mainstream M.2 motherboard socket, supports 1000G shock and 20G vibration resistance, and frees up space in small chassis while providing 2,000,000 hours MTBF reliability.

Questions about this item

Will the single-sided M.2 2280 PCB fit in a slim laptop?

The single-sided thin PCB design keeps the drive low-profile, so it fits most slim laptops and compact small chassis without a heatsink.

What is the step people get wrong when installing the NV3 1TB on a motherboard?

Many forget to enable the PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe slot in BIOS before booting, leaving the drive invisible to the installer.

When will the 3D TLC NAND reach its 320 TBW endurance limit?

At 320 TBW the drive is rated for heavy daily writes; typical workloads take years to approach that figure.
