Kingston's NV3 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD drops to $156.99 at Newegg — 27% off brings it down to just 15.7 cents per GB
The Kingston NV3 may not be built for heavy workloads, but its respectable gaming performance and low power consumption make this PCIe 4.0 SSD a compelling secondary storage upgrade.
Newegg is offering a significant discount on the Kingston NV3 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, bringing its price down to $156.99, which represents a 27% reduction from its usual price of $215.99. This deal is the lowest the SSD has been in the past 30 days, making it an attractive option for those in need of a fast and budget-friendly storage solution.
The Kingston NV3 was released in late 2024 as a PCIe Gen 4.0 NVMe SSD, with 1TB model boasting sequential read speeds of up to 6,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 4,000 MB/s. These impressive speeds ensure it can handle everyday office tasks, gaming, and even demanding file transfers. However, it's important to note that the SSD is DRAM-less, relying on Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology instead, which may result in performance variations depending on the workload. The SSD also has a rated endurance of 320TBW and comes with a five-year limited warranty.
While the NV3 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD might not be the best choice for heavy workloads or a primary SSD in a high-end workstation, it can still be a sensible option for secondary storage. In testing, it performed well in PCMark 10, beating the Corsair MP600 Elite and closely matching several more expensive SSDs. Additionally, it consumes minimal power and runs cooler, reaching a maximum recorded temperature of 48°C during testing.
With its discounted price, the 1TB Kingston NV3 SSD is a solid choice for anyone looking to expand their PC's storage without breaking the bank.
