  • Our take on the Kingston NV3 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD

    The Kingston NV3 is a budget PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD in the M.2 2280 form factor, built on a DRAM-less design with a four-channel controller. It is a step up from the older NV2, with higher sequential read speeds and a single-sided layout that fits thin laptops and compact builds. It suits mainstream users who want fast everyday storage for a desktop, laptop or PS5 without paying for a premium drive. Against rivals like the Crucial P3 Plus and WD Blue SN580, it trades peak performance and sustained write speed for a low-cost entry into PCIe 4.0.

    What reviewers say

    Owners generally see the NV3 as a solid value drive for everyday use, with quick boot and load times. Enthusiasts note that sustained writes fall off once its cache is exhausted, which is expected for a DRAM-less budget SSD.

    What people mention
    • SpeedPraisedOwners report noticeably faster boot and load times than older SATA or PCIe 3.0 drives.
    • Sustained writesCriticisedLarge file transfers slow down once the SLC cache fills, a known limit of the DRAM-less design.
    • ValuePraisedBuyers see it as an affordable way into PCIe 4.0 storage.
    • ThermalsMixedIt runs cool in everyday use, but heavy sustained writes warm it and there is no heatsink included.
    • CompatibilityPraisedThe single-sided M.2 2280 layout installs easily in thin laptops and the PS5.

    About the Kingston NV3 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD

    The Kingston NV3 is an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD that connects over PCIe 4.0 x4. It is built for laptops, small desktops, and gaming devices. It offers high-speed storage with low power consumption in a compact form.

    It uses 3D NAND and comes in capacities from 500GB to 4TB. Sequential read and write speeds depend on capacity and reach up to 6,000/5,000MB/s on the 2TB and 4TB models.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Kingston NV3 worth it over the NV2?
    Yes for most buyers. The NV3 moves to PCIe 4.0 with higher sequential reads and a single-sided layout, while keeping the same budget positioning.
    Does the NV3 work in a PS5?
    Yes. The M.2 2280 form factor fits the PS5 expansion slot, though you should add your own heatsink to meet Sony's requirements.
    Is it DRAM-less, and does that matter?
    It is DRAM-less and uses host memory buffer instead. That is fine for everyday use, but sustained large writes slow down more than on drives with dedicated DRAM.
    What comes in the box?
    The drive itself. No heatsink, screw or mounting hardware is included, so check whether your motherboard or laptop provides them.
    How does it compare with the Crucial P3 Plus?
    Both are budget DRAM-less PCIe 4.0 drives with similar real-world behavior. The NV3 is a reasonable alternative, and the choice usually comes down to capacity and availability.
    Where is the Kingston NV3 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD cheapest?
