Kingston NV3 2TB M.2 2280 SSD

The Kingston NV3 2TB is an internal M.2 2280 solid state drive that uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface and a Phison PS5021-E21 controller with 3D TLC NAND. It is built for desktops, gaming laptops, notebooks, mini PCs and all-in-one systems that need a fast, single-sided storage upgrade.

Suits compact builds and everyday workloads

This drive fits slim laptops and small-form-factor cases thanks to its single-sided 2.3mm PCB and low active power draw of 3.2W. Users who need sustained heavy write endurance beyond the 640TBW rating or who require a heatsink for thermal management in tightly packed enclosures should consider other models.

Drops into any M.2 NVMe slot without extra hardware

The edge connector plugs directly into mainstream motherboards and laptop slots, delivering up to 6000MB/s read and 5000MB/s write with 480,000 IOPS random read and 450,000 IOPS random write. Its low 0.07W idle power and 20G shock resistance free up thermal headroom and suit mobile use, while the 2,000,000-hour MTBF supports long-term reliability.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need an M.2 slot keyed for PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe to run the SNV3S2000G?

Yes, the drive uses an M.2 NVMe edge connector and requires a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe-capable M.2 slot to achieve its 6000MB/s read and 5000MB/s write speeds.

Will the SNV3S2000G work in a laptop that only supports PCIe 3.0 NVMe?

It is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 M.2 NVMe slots, but sequential speeds will be limited to the slot's 3.0 bandwidth.

How can I verify the SNV3S2000G is delivering its rated 6000MB/s read and 5000MB/s write performance?

Run a sequential benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark on an empty drive and compare results to the 6000MB/s read and 5000MB/s write specifications.
