mSATA form factor and 120 GB capacity

This internal SSD uses the mSATA form factor and provides 120 GB of storage. It is built for consumer desktops and laptops that have an mSATA slot. The drive employs 3D TLC NAND and a Marvell Dean controller to deliver solid-state speed for everyday workloads.

Upgrade from a mechanical hard drive

Replacing a 7200 RPM hard drive with this SSD can yield up to 10X faster performance. Sequential reads reach 520 MBps and writes reach 320 MBps, while random reads hit 79,000 IOPS and random writes 18,000 IOPS. The jump is worth it when boot, application load and file transfer times are holding back productivity.

Check for an mSATA slot and SATA III support

Before ordering, confirm that your system has a free mSATA slot and supports the SATA III interface. The drive operates between 0 °C and 70 °C, draws up to 2.32 W during write activity and includes 256-bit AES hardware encryption with TCG Opal 2.0 support. MTBF is rated at 1,000,000 hours.

Questions about this item

Does this mSATA drive fit a standard full-size mSATA slot?

Yes, the UV500 uses the mSATA form factor designed for standard full-size mSATA sockets found in compatible laptops and small-form-factor PCs.

What is the common installation mistake with the mSATA UV500?

Inserting the drive at an angle instead of flat, or failing to secure it with the mounting screw, can prevent the SATA edge connector from seating properly.

How long is the drive rated to last under typical use?

The manufacturer rates the UV500 at 1,000,000 hours MTBF with 3D TLC NAND and a Marvell Dean controller for sustained reliability.
