SSD disk Kingston Technology 500G M.2 NVMe SNV3S/500G

Kingston NV3 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD is a compact M.2 2280 (22x80mm) storage drive designed to deliver high-speed performance with a Gen 4x4 NVMe controller. It provides read/write speeds up to 6,000/5,000 MB/s* while maintaining lower power consumption and reduced heat, and is available in capacities from 500GB to 4TB** to expand storage for applications, documents, photos, videos and games.

Advantages

The NV3 combines PCIe 4.0 performance with a single-sided M.2 2280 form factor for easy integration into thin laptops and small form factor PCs. It delivers high sequential read and write speeds for faster loading and data transfer, while optimized power usage and thermal characteristics help maintain system efficiency. Multiple capacity options up to 4TB** allow flexible storage expansion without sacrificing space for other components.

Key specifications

• Interface: PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe
• Controller: Gen 4x4 NVMe controller
• Sequential read speed: up to 6,000 MB/s*
• Sequential write speed: up to 5,000 MB/s*
• Form factor: M.2 2280 (22 x 80 mm), single-sided
• Capacities: 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, 4TB**

How to use

Install the NV3 into an available M.2 slot on a compatible motherboard or laptop with PCIe 4.0 support (backward compatible with earlier PCIe versions). Secure the drive with the mounting screw, configure the SSD in the system BIOS/UEFI if required, then format and partition the drive in the operating system to begin transferring data and installing applications.

Recommendations

Ensure your device supports M.2 2280 PCIe SSDs and, where possible, use a PCIe 4.0 slot to achieve stated performance. Regularly update system firmware and drivers for optimal compatibility and consider adequate cooling in compact systems to maintain sustained speeds.
