Kingston NV3S 1TB M.2 2280

The Kingston NV3S is a 1TB internal solid-state drive built in the M.2 2280 form factor. It connects through a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface and is designed for consumer desktops and laptops that need fast primary storage.

Suits compact systems with M.2 2280 slots

This drive fits thin laptops and small-form-factor PCs that accept a single-sided M.2 2280 module. Builders using motherboards with only a shorter M.2 slot or those who require a DRAM cache for sustained heavy workloads should consider other models.

PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface

The PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe connection determines whether this SSD will operate at its rated speed. The drive delivers up to 6000 MB/s sequential read and up to 4000 MB/s sequential write when installed in a compatible Gen 4 slot.

Questions about this item

Will the SNV3S/1000G run at PCIe 4.0 speeds in a laptop that only has a PCIe 3.0 M.2 slot?

The drive is backward compatible and will operate at PCIe 3.0 speeds in that slot, with sequential reads up to the slot's limit rather than the rated 6000 MBps.

How can I verify the SNV3S/1000G is delivering its rated 6000 MBps read and 4000 MBps write performance after installation?

Run a synthetic benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark on an empty drive; you should see sequential reads approaching 6000 MBps and writes approaching 4000 MBps on a PCIe 4.0 platform.

Does the SNV3S/1000G package include the M.2 2280 mounting screw for my motherboard?

The drive is supplied as a bare single-sided M.2 2280 module; the retention screw is normally provided with the motherboard or laptop chassis.
