Kingston NV3 • 1TB • M.2 2230
Bring 1TB of NVMe storage to a compatible compact system. This NV3 uses the short 22 × 30mm form factor, with PCIe 4.0 x4 connectivity and capacity-specific speeds up to 6,000MB/s read and 4,000MB/s write.
Short format • single sided
An M.2 label alone does not establish fit. This is the 2230 model, measuring 22 × 30 × 2.3mm, rather than the longer NV3 2280. Confirm the system’s NVMe interface, 2230 mounting point and clearance before choosing an upgrade for a laptop or handheld gaming device.
1TB configuration
Keep applications, project files or a game library on a single internal drive. The listed 1TB is nominal capacity; formatting and system functions leave less space available to the user. Back up existing data and follow the device maker’s storage-replacement instructions.
Gen4 x4 • NVMe
Kingston rates this 1TB version at up to 6,000MB/s sequential read and 4,000MB/s sequential write in its out-of-box PCIe 4.0 test conditions. The 5,000MB/s family write headline belongs to other capacities. Your host, software, workload and drive state affect realised performance.
Health • migration • firmware
The separate Downloads tab points to Kingston SSD Manager and the official Acronis guidance. SSD Manager supports drive-health information and applicable firmware updates on supported Windows systems using the drive’s native interface. Acronis availability is conditional on Kingston’s licence and system requirements; do not assume it supports every handheld operating system.
