Kingston NVME m.2 2280
NV3 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD – Fast Gen4 storage in M.2 2280 format
Kingston NV3 is a modern PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD in M.2 2280 format, designed to deliver high performance at an attractive price. With a Gen4 x4 controller, the NV3 provides significantly higher speeds than PCIe 3.0 and SATA-based SSDs, resulting in faster boot-ups, shorter loading times, and a more responsive system.
The single-sided 2280 design makes the drive compatible with most desktop and laptop computers that support NVMe, while keeping heat generation and power consumption low.
PCIe 4.0 – clear performance boost in everyday use
Kingston NV3 utilizes PCI Express 4.0 x4, providing:
-
Faster operating system startup
-
Shorter loading times in games and applications
-
More efficient file transfers
-
Better overall system responsiveness
Sequential speeds of up to 6,000 MB/s read and up to 5,000 MB/s write (capacity-dependent) make the NV3 a strong choice for both work and gaming.
Efficient, cool, and power-saving design
NV3 is optimized for low power consumption and reduced heat generation, resulting in:
-
Stable performance even in compact systems
-
Lower cooling load in laptops
-
Quiet operation without moving parts
The solid construction without mechanical components makes the drive more shock-resistant and reliable than traditional hard drives.
