Kingston SSDNOW UV500

An encrypted solution for every user.

Kingston’s UV500 family of solid-state drives dramaticall improves the responsiveness of your existing system with incredible boot, loading, and transfer times compared to mechanical hard drives. Powered by a Marvell Dean controller combined with 3D NAND Flash for read and write speeds up to 520MB/s and 500MB/s, this SSD is 10X faster than a traditional hard drive for better performance, ultra-responsive multi-tasking, and an overall faster system. UV500 provides end-to-end data protection, supports 256-bit AES Hardware-based encryption, and TCG Opal 2.0 security management solutions.

More reliable and durable than a hard drive, UV500 is built with NAND Flash semiconductor memory. There are no moving parts, making it far less likely to fail than a mechanical hard drive. It is also cooler and quieter, and its shock and vibration resistance makes it ideal for notebooks and other mobile computing devices.

UV500 is available in multiple capacities from 120GB–960GB, so you can buy one to use as a boot drive, or take advantage of the larger capacities to store videos, photos, and host your most frequently used applications.
