Portable Format

The Kingston NV3 2230 stands out with its compact M.2-2230 form factor, being only 30 mm long, while most modern SSDs have a length of 80 mm. It's one of the most miniature solid-state drives on the market, excluding soldered-on-board UFS memory. Thanks to its size, it is ideal for ultrabooks, all-in-one desktops, and portable gaming devices where every millimeter of internal space counts.

Smart Caching

The drive is compatible with popular portable consoles, including the Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, MSI Claw, and other similar devices. The design is based on the Silicon Motion SM2268XT2 controller and a single 3D NAND flash memory chip with a 218-layer structure. The built-in dual-core ARM Cortex-R8 processor supports Host Memory Buffer technology, which allows some of the system's RAM to be used as a cache to improve performance.

Operating System Migration

Despite its modest size, the Kingston NV3 2230 is available in capacities ranging from 500 GB to 4 TB. The high density of component placement allows memory chips to be installed on both sides of the circuit board. Performance depends on the model's capacity and reaches 5000–6000 MB/s for reading and 3000–5000 MB/s for writing, which is consistent with PCIe 4.0 interface capabilities. An additional advantage is the proprietary Acronis True Image license for quick cloning of the operating system and data transfer to the new drive.
