KINGSTON SSD NV3 M.2 PCIE 500GB

Kingston NV3 500GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD

The Kingston NV3 500GB is a 500GB solid-state drive designed to provide fast, dependable storage for a compatible desktop PC, laptop or workstation. Its PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe connection and M.2 2280 format make it suitable for replacing an older drive, expanding available storage or creating a responsive system drive.

With sequential performance of up to 5,000 MB/s read and 3,000 MB/s write, the drive helps reduce application loading times, file-transfer delays and general system responsiveness compared with conventional hard-drive storage.
