FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions 

 

Kingston NV3 1TB (M.2 2230) — FAQ

Will this 2230 drive fit my device?
Yes—this is a single-sided M.2 2230 (22×30 mm) NVMe SSD designed for small-form-factor laptops and handheld consoles that require 2230 modules. Always check your device’s manual for 2230 support. 
Is it compatible with Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go and Surface?
It’s suitable for devices that accept single-sided 2230 NVMe SSDs. Steam Deck runs the drive at its platform’s PCIe Gen3 x4 speed; ROG Ally/Legion Go can leverage PCIe Gen4 bandwidth. Check your exact model’s 2230 slot and PCIe generation. 
How fast is the 1TB 2230 NV3?
Kingston’s datasheet rates the 1TB 2230 at up to 6,000 MB/s read and 4,000 MB/s write (out-of-box, PCIe 4.0 host). Higher capacities can reach up to 5,000 MB/s write. Actual speeds vary by device and workload. 
What endurance (TBW) and warranty does it have?
The 1TB 2230 NV3 is rated for 320 TBW and carries a limited 5-year warranty (or until SSD “Percentage Used” reaches 100% in Kingston SSD Manager). 
Does it include cloning software?
Yes—Kingston provides Acronis® True Image for Kingston (download) for disk cloning/backup when installing Kingston internal SSDs. 
What are the key specs and part number?
PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe, single-sided 2230, 3D NAND; typical model code for 1TB 2230 is SNV3SM3/1T0. 
Will Gen4 work in a Gen3 device?
Yes—NV3 is backward compatible. It will run at the maximum PCIe generation supported by your device (e.g., Steam Deck = Gen3 x4). 
Is the NV3 DRAM-less? Any heat concerns?
NV3 is a low-power client SSD designed for compact systems; Kingston highlights reduced heat and power for handheld/laptop use. For best thermals in tight spaces, ensure unobstructed airflow and follow device maker guidance. 
What comes in the box?
Single SSD module (2230). Cloning software is provided via Kingston’s download page. Some handhelds require re-installing the OS after an upgrade—follow your device’s instructions. 
Any tips before upgrading a handheld console?
Back up your data, confirm 2230 single-sided support, update firmware where applicable, and be aware some devices (e.g., Steam Deck) need an OS reimage after the swap.
