Kingston Introduces New UV500
Family of SSDs

Kingston, a world
leader in memory products and technology solutions, announced 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.

            UV500 family of SSDs features self-encryption to
market, combining a powerful controller, 3D
NAND and data encryption in multiple form factors. It 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.
