mSATA 240GB internal SSD

The Kingston UV500 is a 240GB internal solid state drive in the mSATA form factor. It connects through a SATA III interface and uses 3D TLC NAND with a Marvell Dean controller to deliver faster boot and load times than a mechanical hard drive.

Suits older laptops and small-form-factor desktops

This drive fits systems that have an mSATA slot and need a SATA-based upgrade. Builds that only accept 2.5-inch SATA drives or M.2 PCIe modules cannot use this form factor and should select a different model.

Hardware AES-256 encryption and TCG Opal 2.0

The UV500 includes 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption with TCG Opal 2.0 support. If your workflow requires drive-level encryption managed through Opal-compatible software, this specification makes the drive suitable; if encryption is not needed, the feature simply remains available.

Highlights

  • Faster boot and load times than mechanical hard drives

Questions about this item

Does my laptop need an mSATA slot to install this 240GB UV500 drive?

Yes, the drive uses the mSATA form factor and a SATA III interface, so the host system must provide a compatible mSATA socket.

Will this SATA III SSD work in a machine that only has SATA II ports?

The drive is backward compatible with SATA II ports, though maximum sequential speeds will be limited to the older link rate.

How can I confirm the UV500 is delivering its rated 520 MBps read and 500 MBps write performance after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark or AS SSD and compare the sequential results to the 520 MBps read and 500 MBps write specifications.
