Description
Kingston NV3 M.2 2230 500GB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD
SNV3SM3/500G
The Kingston NV3 M.2 2230 500GB (SNV3SM3/500G) is a compact, high-speed PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD designed for space-constrained devices such as ultrabooks, mini PCs, and handheld gaming systems. Featuring the ultra-small M.2 2230 form factor, it delivers powerful performance while fitting into compact systems where traditional 2280 drives cannot.
Powered by a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface, the NV3 achieves sequential speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s read and 3,000 MB/s write, significantly improving system responsiveness, boot times, and application performance compared to SATA SSDs.
