Questions about this item

What is included with the SUV500/240G and what must be bought separately?

The drive itself is supplied; a 2.5″ to 3.5″ mounting bracket and a SATA data cable are not included and must be purchased separately if your chassis or motherboard needs them.

Which UV500 capacity should I choose between 120GB, 240GB and 960GB?

240GB suits an operating system plus core applications; 120GB is tighter for updates, while 960GB adds room for large media libraries and game installs.

What do the 520 MB/s read and 500 MB/s write figures mean once the drive is installed in a SATA III system?

They represent the maximum sequential throughput the Marvell 88SS1074 controller can deliver over the SATA III link; real-world speeds depend on the host controller, file sizes and system workload.
