Kingston NV3 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD (SNV3S/1000G) – PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe, Up to 6,000 MB/s, M.2 2280

The Kingston NV3 1TB (SNV3S/1000G) is a PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 solid state drive with up to 6,000 MB/s read and 4,000 MB/s write. Built for PC builders, laptop upgraders and everyday users, it cuts boot, load and file-transfer times compared with SATA SSDs and hard drives.

Reliable SSD performance for every day.

How PCIe 4.0 NVMe Removes Storage Bottlenecks

Hard drives and SATA SSDs are limited by older interfaces. Hard drives wait on spinning platters, and SATA caps SSDs at about 560 MB/s, so large games, project files and OS updates still take time to load.

The Kingston NV3 1TB connects directly to the CPU or chipset over PCIe 4.0 lanes using the NVMe protocol, which handles many parallel requests at once. With up to 6,000 MB/s read and 4,000 MB/s write, it loads games, opens large files and copies data far faster than SATA storage.

Speed Where You Notice It

Shorter boot times, faster level loads and quicker exports come from both sequential speed and low random-access latency. It handles everyday multitasking without the stalls of a hard drive.

Simple M.2 Installation

The drive screws into an M.2 slot with no cables; many motherboards include an M.2 heatsink cover that can be used for extra cooling.

Setup Instructions

How to Install the Kingston NV3 1TB

1. Confirm your motherboard or laptop has a free M.2 2280 slot that supports NVMe.
2. Power down, unplug and ground yourself, then remove any M.2 slot cover.
3. Insert the SSD at an angle into the slot, press it flat and secure it with the screw or latch.
4. Boot into BIOS to confirm detection, then initialise the drive in Disk Management or install your OS.
