Our take on the Kingston NV3 M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 500G

The Kingston NV3 is a budget PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive in the M.2 2280 single-sided format. Kingston rates it at up to 6,000MB/s read and 5,000MB/s write, though the 500GB model runs slower than the larger capacities. It is a DRAM-less, low-power design aimed at thin laptops, small-form-factor PCs and PS5 expansion rather than heavy sustained workloads. Against premium Gen 4 drives it gives up peak speed and endurance, but it is one of the simpler ways to add fast storage.

Pros
  • PCIe 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe protocol
  • Single-sided M.2 2280 design fits tight spaces
  • Low power draw and reduced heat
  • Capacities run up to 4TB across the line
  • Simple drop-in upgrade for M.2 slots
Cons
  • 500GB model is well below the headline 6,000MB/s read
  • DRAM-less controller slows on sustained writes
  • Endurance rating is modest for the capacity
  • No heatsink included

What reviewers say

Owners treat the NV3 as a solid value Gen 4 drive for everyday use and console expansion. Reviewers note it is fast in short bursts but falls behind premium drives once the cache fills.

What people mention
  • SpeedMixedFast for everyday loads, but sustained writes slow once the cache is exhausted.
  • ThermalsPraisedOwners report it runs cool and draws little power in laptops.
  • InstallPraisedSingle-sided M.2 2280 shape makes it easy to fit in tight slots.
  • EnduranceCriticisedThe rated terabytes written are low compared with pricier drives of the same size.
  • CapacityMixedThe 500GB model trails the larger versions in rated read and write speeds.

About the Kingston NV3 M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 500G

Questions and answers

Is the Kingston NV3 fast enough for gaming?
Yes for game storage and loading. It is a Gen 4 drive, though the 500GB version is slower than the 1TB and 2TB models.
Does it fit a PS5?
It is a single-sided M.2 2280 drive, which is the shape the PS5 takes. Sony recommends a heatsink, and none is included.
Does it work in a laptop?
Yes, if the laptop has an M.2 2280 PCIe slot. Its single-sided design and low power draw suit thin machines.
Is it better than a SATA SSD?
Much faster in sequential and random reads. The gap narrows on small everyday tasks but is still noticeable.
What is in the box?
Just the NV3 SSD. No heatsink, screw or mounting hardware is included.
Does it have DRAM cache?
No. It is a DRAM-less design that uses host memory buffer, so large sustained writes can slow down.
Where is the Kingston NV3 M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 500G cheapest?
At Industrial Automation Parts, for $136.16, as of our latest check.
