Kingston NV3 500GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

The Kingston NV3 is a 500GB solid-state drive utilizing the M.2 2280 form factor and interfacing with systems via the PCIe 4.0 x4 connection. Designed for integration into modern performance PCs and laptops, this configuration supports high data throughput for rapid application loading and reduced system boot times. The drive leverages 3D TLC NAND technology, balancing performance metrics with storage density suitable for mainstream consumer environments.

Optimized for power efficiency, the NV3 draws minimal idle power (0.005 W), making it suitable for compact systems where thermal management is critical. Its slim 2.3 mm height ensures compatibility with thin chassis designs often found in mobile platforms. The inclusion of the Silicon Motion SM2268XT2 controller manages I/O operations efficiently, supporting overall system responsiveness. The drive maintains reliability with an endurance rating of 160 TBW and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours.
