Kingston NV3 500 GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD

The Kingston NV3 is a 500 GB solid state drive built in the M.2 2280 form factor with a PCI Express NVMe interface. It is an internal drive suited for upgrading laptops or desktops that have a compatible M.2 slot. The drive arrives in OEM packaging.

Suits systems with an M.2 NVMe slot.

This drive fits any device that accepts an M.2 2280 NVMe module. Buyers whose machines only support 2.5-inch drives or lack an M.2 keyed for NVMe cannot use this part. It is also not intended for external enclosures unless the enclosure specifically takes an internal M.2 NVMe stick.

Deciding specification: M.2 2280 NVMe interface

The single detail that determines compatibility is the M.2 2280 NVMe interface. Verify that the host system provides an M.2 slot wired for PCI Express NVMe before purchasing. Model number SNV3S/500G and MPN 289511 identify this exact unit.

Questions about this item

Does the 500 GB NVMe drive come with a mounting screw or heatsink, or must I source them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare M.2 2280 module; mounting hardware and any thermal pad are not included and must be obtained from the laptop or motherboard manufacturer.

Should I choose the 500 GB model or a higher-capacity version for my workload?

The 500 GB capacity suits operating-system drives and everyday applications; select a larger model only if you routinely store large media libraries or virtual-machine images.

What does the NVMe interface mean for actual boot and load times in my laptop?

The NVMe protocol enables much faster data transfer than older interfaces, so the operating system boots and applications launch noticeably quicker once the drive is installed.
