KINGSTON NV3 2230 1TB M.2 NVME Gen4 Solid State Drive ( SSD )

The Kingston NV3 2230 1TB M.2 NVMe Gen4 Solid State Drive is a compact, high-performance storage upgrade designed specifically for small-form-factor devices. Using the M.2 2230 form factor — measuring just 22mm × 30mm × 2.3mm and weighing a mere 2.8 grams — it fits natively into ultra-slim laptops, mini PCs, and handheld gaming consoles where space is at a premium. Powered by a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface, the NV3 2230 delivers sequential read speeds of up to 6,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 4,000 MB/s, a substantial step up from older PCIe Gen3 drives. This performance headroom translates to faster system boot times, quicker application launches, and smoother large-file transfers. The drive uses 3D NAND flash memory, which contributes to both capacity efficiency and measured power consumption — keeping thermals in check inside thermally constrained chassis. Endurance is rated at 320 TB written (TBW) according to the source description, while the specification table also lists 380 TBW — buyers should verify the exact endurance rating for SKU SNV3SM3-1T0 with Kingston directly. The drive is backed by a 5-year limited warranty, offering meaningful long-term peace of mind. With a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2,000,000 hours and a non-operating vibration tolerance of 20G (10–1,000Hz), the NV3 is built for reliability in mobile environments. Operating temperatures range from 0°C to 70°C, while storage temperatures extend from −40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for use across a wide range of ambient conditions. The single-sided PCB design is essential for devices that do not accommodate double-sided M.2 modules.
