Our take on the Kingston NV3 4TB Internal M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 Drive

The Kingston NV3 4TB is a budget-oriented PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive in the standard M.2 2280 size. Kingston rates it at up to 6,000 MB/s reads and 5,000 MB/s writes, which puts it in line with other entry Gen4 drives and well behind premium models like the Samsung 990 Pro or WD Black SN850X. It uses TLC flash, but the drive has no DRAM cache, so sustained writes slow once the SLC cache fills. It suits people who want a large, fast-feeling drive for games, media and everyday work rather than heavy sustained writing.

Questions and answers

Is the Kingston NV3 4TB fast enough for gaming?
Yes. Its Gen4 interface and 6,000 MB/s reads load games and levels quickly. It is not the fastest Gen4 drive, but the difference is small in play.
Does the NV3 4TB have a DRAM cache?
No. It is a DRAM-less design that relies on SLC caching and host memory buffer. Large sustained writes slow down once the cache is used up.
Will it fit a PlayStation 5?
Yes, the M.2 2280 form factor fits the PS5 expansion slot. Sony recommends a heatsink, and a slim one works with this drive.
Is it better than the Kingston NV2?
The NV3 is the newer line with higher rated speeds and TLC flash. It is the better pick of the two for most buyers.
What is in the box?
The drive itself. No heatsink, screw or cable is included, so check whether your motherboard provides the mounting hardware.
Is TLC flash better than QLC?
Generally yes. TLC holds up better under sustained writing and usually lasts longer than QLC at the same capacity.
Where is the Kingston NV3 4TB Internal M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 Drive cheapest?
At Newegg, for $815.99, as of our latest check.
