Product overview
Kingston’s NV3 2TB (M.2 2280) began shipping on September 4, 2024 as part of the NV3 PCIe 4.0 NVMe family; a 2230 variant joined the line in July 2025. The 2TB model is rated up to 6,000/5,000 MB/s with 640 TBW and a 5‑year limited warranty, all over a single‑sided PCB.Sourcekingston.com↗
Positioned as a budget‑tier Gen4 SSD, it uses a DRAM‑less HMB design to reduce cost and power, aimed at value builds rather than heavy sustained‑write workloads. It’s well‑suited as a large game library or everyday boot drive, and its single‑sided 2280 form helps with thin‑and‑light laptop fit. As of October 10, 2026 it remains current (not discontinued).SourcePCWorld↗
