Kingston UV500 480 GB SATA SSD

The Kingston UV500 is a 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive built for consumer desktops and notebooks that still rely on the SATA interface. It replaces a mechanical hard drive to deliver faster boot, application load and file transfer performance.

Hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption

A Marvell 88SS1074 controller manages 3D TLC NAND and provides full-drive 256-bit AES hardware encryption compliant with TCG Opal 2.0. The drive reaches sequential reads up to 520 MBps and writes up to 500 MBps with 79,000 random read IOPS and 35,000 random write IOPS.

Standard 2.5-inch SATA fit

The drive slots into any 2.5-inch bay with a standard SATA data and power connection, requiring no extra cables or brackets. Low idle power of 0.195 W and an operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C keep thermal demands modest for compact chassis.

Questions about this item

How does the 520 MBps sequential read speed affect everyday use?

The 520 MBps read speed lets the operating system and applications load much faster than a mechanical hard drive, cutting boot time and making file transfers snappy.

What does the SATA III interface limit in practice?

SATA III caps the drive at 6 Gbps, so the 520 MBps read and 500 MBps write figures are the practical ceiling you will see in any system.

Will the 2.5 inch form factor fit my laptop or desktop bay?

The drive uses the standard 2.5 inch form factor, so it fits any 2.5 inch SATA bay or caddy in laptops and desktops.
