FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Kingston NV3 4TB NVMe Gen4 SSD — FAQ
Will the NV3 4TB work in my PC or laptop?
Yes, if your system has an M.2 slot that supports NVMe (PCIe). The NV3 is an M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD (backward-compatible with PCIe Gen3 at Gen3 speeds).
Is PCIe Gen 4 backward-compatible?
Yes. A Gen 4 NVMe drive like the NV3 runs in a Gen 3 slot at Gen 3 speeds, and unleashes full speed on a Gen 4 slot.
What are the sequential speeds for the 4TB model?
Up to 6,000 MB/s read and 5,000 MB/s write (manufacturer rating for 2TB–4TB capacities).
What’s the endurance (TBW) and warranty?
Rated at 1,280 TBW for the 4TB model with a limited 5-year Kingston warranty (or until the drive reaches its “Percentage Used” limit in Kingston SSD Manager).
Is the NV3 single-sided? Helpful for thin laptops?
Yes — NV3 uses a compact, single-sided design to aid clearance in tight M.2 bays while keeping power/heat low.
Does it have DRAM? (HMB support)
NV3 is a DRAM-less design that uses Host Memory Buffer (HMB) to deliver everyday performance while keeping costs and thermals down.
Can I use the NV3 4TB in a PS5?
It’s a PCIe Gen 4 NVMe drive that meets Sony’s stated speed class; add a low-profile M.2 heatsink and ensure dimensions fit the PS5 slot cover. As with any budget drive, sustained performance varies by workload.
Does it fit Steam Deck/ROG Ally/handhelds?
NV3 exists in both 2280 and 2230 families, but this 4TB listing is the 2280 size. Handhelds typically need 2230; check your device spec before ordering.
Will it work in an M.2 SATA-only slot?
No. NV3 is NVMe (PCIe). M.2 SATA slots are a different protocol and won’t detect it.
Do I need a heatsink?
For desktops/laptops, the NV3 is designed for low power and usually runs cool without a heatsink. For PS5, a heatsink is required by Sony’s guidelines.
What NAND type does NV3 use?
Kingston lists “3D NAND.” Independent reviews note NV3 may ship with QLC or TLC depending on batch, while keeping the same rated specs.
How do I clone my old drive to the NV3?
Use a SATA/NVMe to USB enclosure or spare M.2 slot and cloning software (e.g., Kingston SSD Manager for health/firmware and a third-party cloner like Macrium/Acronis). Always back up before cloning.
