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

The Kingston NV3 2230 2TB NVMe SSD (model SNV3SM3-2T0) is an internal solid-state drive designed for compact, high-performance storage in space-constrained systems. Built on a PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe interface, it delivers sequential read speeds of up to 6,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s — a meaningful step up from PCIe Gen 3 drives — while maintaining low power consumption and reduced heat output. The M.2 2230 form factor (22 mm × 30 mm × 2.3 mm, 2.8 g) makes the NV3 2230 a natural fit for thin-and-light laptops, ultra-small form-factor PCs, and compatible handheld gaming consoles that require a shorter module than the more common 2280 size. The single-sided PCB design keeps the drive within tight chassis clearances where thicker, double-sided modules would not seat correctly. With 2 TB of usable capacity, the NV3 2230 provides ample room for operating systems, large application libraries, video projects, and extensive game collections simultaneously. Kingston rates the drive at 640 TBW (terabytes written), reflecting the total data volume the NAND endurance supports over the drive's rated life. The 3D NAND architecture contributes to both the density needed to achieve 2 TB in the compact 2230 footprint and the drive's overall reliability profile. For peace of mind, Kingston backs the NV3 2230 with a 5-year limited warranty. Reliability figures include an MTBF (mean time between failures) rating of 2,000,000 hours. The drive operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and can be stored safely between −40 °C and 85 °C.
