Kingston NV3 Spec and Price in the United States
Released September 3, 2024
The NV3 covers Kingston's mainstream PCIe 4.0 tier: 6000 MB/s reads and 5000 MB/s writes, well below the 7000/7000 MB/s the KC3000 posts on the same interface. Its 640TB TBW rating is also a fraction of the KC3000's 1600TB, positioning it for typical desktop and everyday file storage rather than sustained heavy-write workloads. The 5-year warranty matches the rest of Kingston's NVMe lineup despite the lower-tier performance numbers.
43rd of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential read. Tied 42nd of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential write — 3 models share this figure.

Commonly criticised
