Kingston Unleashes a New Form Factor to NV3 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

Kingston is shaking up the NVMe SSD market with a new, smaller form factor for its popular NV3 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD. Joining the existing 2280 model, the brand-new Kingston NV3 2230 SSD is here to supercharge your compatible laptops and handheld gaming consoles with a high-speed, low-power storage upgrade.

Why the NV3 2230 is a Game Changer for Compact Systems

Space is often at a premium in modern tech, and Kingston’s NV3 2230 directly addresses this. This compact, single-sided M.2 2230 (22x30mm) design is specifically engineered for systems with limited internal real estate. Don’t let its size fool you, though; it offers storage expansion up to 2TB.

Powered by a Gen 4×4 NVMe controller, the NV3 2230 delivers blistering read/write speeds of up to 6,000/5,000MB/s. This means a significantly more responsive system, effortlessly handling everything from demanding applications to intense gaming sessions.

“We are happy to expand our offerings with the NV3 2230 SSD allowing users to upgrade not just their devices but their experience, whether for work or play,” said Keith Schimmenti, SSD business manager at Kingston. “NV3 2230 delivers speed and reliability making it ideal for creators and gamers ready to see improved performance.”

Capacities and Included Software

The NV3 2230 is available in capacities ranging from 500GB to 2TB, providing ample space for your operating system, applications, vast game libraries, and essential files.

Kingston also sweetens the deal by including a 1-year free license for Acronis True Image for Kingston software. This valuable tool, alongside the Kingston SSD Manager application, allows you to easily monitor your drive’s health, track disk usage, update firmware, and securely erase data when needed.NV3 PCIe 4.0 NVMe 2230 SSD Features and Specifications:
