Our Verdict
With over 13,000 verified ratings, the Kingston NV3 is the most reviewed drive in this addition — a genuine budget favorite. It's a DRAM-less Gen4 drive, so sustained heavy writes will fall short of its rated 6,000 MB/s burst speed, but for everyday use, OS installs, and gaming it delivers real Gen4-class performance at a price that undercuts DRAM-equipped competitors. If you want the absolute best sustained-write performance, step up to a DRAM drive like the Crucial P310 or WD Black SN7100 — but for value-focused builds, the NV3's review count speaks for itself.
