Kingston NV3 M.2 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe Internal SSD

The Kingston NV3 is an M.2 2280 solid-state drive that was introduced on August 4, 2024. It comes in various storage options, ranging from 500 GB to 2 TB, with this particular page focusing on the 1 TB model. The NV3 connects to the rest of the system via a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface. It features the SM2268XT2 controller from Silicon Motion and does not include a DRAM cache. Kingston has utilized 162-layer QLC NAND flash, sourced from Kioxia, for this SSD. It's important to note that there are different versions of this SSD available, each with varying NAND flash or controllers, which may influence performance; further details can be found in the "Notes" section at the bottom of this page. To enhance write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is implemented, allowing for quicker handling of bursts of incoming writes. With the support of the speedy PCI-Express 4.0 interface, the NV3 delivers impressive performance, boasting sequential read speeds of up to 6,000 MB/s and write speeds of 4,000 MB/s.
