Drive identity

The Kingston UV500 SUV500/240G is a 2.5-inch SATA internal solid-state drive with 240GB of 3D TLC NAND. It targets users who want faster boot, loading and transfer times than a mechanical hard drive can deliver.

Compatibility check

Verify that your system has a free 2.5-inch drive bay and a SATA III port with an available data and power cable. The drive operates from 0°C to 70°C and stores safely from -40°C to 85°C.

Build integration

A Marvell 88SS1074 controller manages read speeds up to 520 MBps and write speeds up to 500 MBps. The drive draws 0.195W idle, 0.5W average active, 1.17W max read and 2.32W max write. Hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption and TCG Opal 2.0 support secure data without software overhead.

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.
