Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Kingston NV1 500GB NVMe compatible with my motherboard?

The Kingston NV1 500GB NVMe SSD uses a M.2 (2280) form factor with PCIe 3.0 x4, NVMe interface. It is compatible with any motherboard that has a matching M.2 (2280) slot. This includes AMD AM5/AM4 and Intel LGA 1851/LGA 1700 platforms. PCIe is backward-compatible, so older PCIe generation slots will work at reduced bandwidth.

Can I use the Kingston NV1 500GB NVMe in a laptop?

Yes, if your laptop has an M.2 2280 NVMe slot. Some laptops use shorter M.2 2230 or M.2 2242 form factors — the Kingston NV1 500GB NVMe SSD requires the standard 2280 (80mm) length slot.

What is the endurance rating of the Kingston NV1 500GB NVMe?

The Kingston NV1 500GB NVMe SSD is rated for 120 TBW, backed by a 3-year limited warranty. At typical consumer usage of ~50 GB/day, this provides years of reliable operation.

How fast is the Kingston NV1 500GB NVMe?

The Kingston NV1 500GB NVMe SSD delivers Up to 2,100 MB/s sequential read and Up to 1,700 MB/s sequential write speeds. Random I/O performance: 90,000 read IOPS and 220,000 write IOPS.

What type of NAND does the Kingston NV1 500GB NVMe use?

The Kingston NV1 500GB NVMe SSD uses 3D QLC NAND flash memory with 500GB storage capacity. QLC NAND provides excellent value for large-capacity storage.
