FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced it is shipping the UV500 family line of SSD products. Available in multiple form factors, UV500 will be Kingston’s first 3D NAND-enabled SSD featuring full-disk encryption. UV500 is powered by the Marvell 88SS1074 controller, and combined with 3D NAND Flash, delivers incredible read/write speeds of up to 520MB/s and 500MB/s, making it 10x faster than a 7200RPM hard drive.
UV500 dramatically improves a system’s overall responsiveness with incredible boot, loading and transfer times; and, with no moving parts is far less likely to fail compared to mechanical hard drives. UV500 protects sensitive data with 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption and supports TCG Opal 2.0. It is available in three different form factors (2.5″, M.2 2280, mSATA) to accommodate any client system. UV500 is perfect as a boot drive or for primary storage as it is available in 120GB, 240GB, 480GB, 960GB and 1920GB* capacities.
“We are proud to bring the UV500 family of SSDs featuring self-encryption to market,” said Ariel Perez, SSD business manager, Kingston. “The combination of a powerful controller, 3D NAND and data encryption in multiple form factors makes UV500 perfect for both consumers and enterprise users looking for a performance boost on existing systems.”
UV500 is backed by a limited five-year warranty and legendary Kingston support. For more information visit www.kingston.com.

This SSD is designed for use in desktop and notebook computer workloads, and is not intended for Server environments.
1 Based on “out-of-box performance” using a SATA Rev 3.0 /
PCIe 3.0 motherboard. Speed may vary due to host hardware, software, and
usage. IOMETER Random 4K Read/Write is based on 8GB partition.

Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for
formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data
storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less
than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to
Kingston’s Flash Memory Guide at kingston.com/flashguide.
3
Limited warranty based on 5 years or SSD “Life Remaining” which can be
found using the Kingston SSD Manager (kingston.com/SSDManager). A new,
unused product will show a wear indicator value of one hundred (100),
whereas a product that has reached its endurance limit of program erase
cycles will show a wear indicator value of one (1). See kingston.com/wa
for details.
4 Total Bytes Written (TBW) is derived from
the JEDEC Client Workload (JESD219A).
