Kingston 480gb Uv500 Benchmark

By: Jonathan KwanJune 22, 2018A few months ago, my colleague Gina sent me a text message out of the blue. 'Do you know how to change batteries?'

'Of course I do,' I wrote. 'I am an expert in alarm clocks and graphing calculators.'

Kingston will release a UV400 960GB model soon. Until then, the series consists of three capacities that range from 120GB to 480GB. There are two product numbers for each capacity.

I could imagine her rolling her eyes as she sent a semi-sarcastic reply back. 'How about locomotives?' More often than not, we have preconceived notions about the form and context of the things that we assume other people already know what we are trying to say. In this particular case, I knew she was asking whether I could help her change the battery in her car, but that did not stop me from having a little fun in the beginning. It is technically correct to say I have experience in changing alarm clock and graphing calculator batteries no matter how trivial the task is; and no, I have never worked on a locomotive before. In another example, what is the first thing that comes to your mind when I say 'SSD'? A 2.5' Serial ATA drive?

• This means that, at least on paper, Kingston’s UV500 will be somewhat slower than its competitors. Crucial stated that its 480GB BX500 drive can sustain a read speed of 540MB/s, whereas the Mushkin Source 500GB is even faster with a read speed of 560MB/s and a write speed of 520MB/s.
• Average consistency The range of scores (95th - 5th percentile) for the Kingston SSDNow UV400 480GB is 42.2%. This is a relatively wide range which indicates that the Kingston SSDNow UV400 480GB performs inconsistently under varying real world conditions.

An M.2 expansion card? What about mSATA? For me, it would be a traditional 2.5' SATA drive, even though I have rocked a very nontraditional PCI Express unit for years. But whether you are thinking 2.5', M.2, or mSATA when I mention 'SSD', you cannot be wrong with the Kingston UV500. The company offers their latest budget offering in all three form factors, and we here at APH Networks has all of them sitting in our labs. To start off the first review of our series, let us take a look at the most traditional of the bunch: Serial ATA.Our review units of the Kingston UV500 240GB came in a small brown corrugated cardboard box from the company's American headquarters in Fountain Valley, California, USA.

Using the FedEx Ground service, everything arrived in excellent condition to us here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada for our review today. Inside the box are three different form factors of the same drive as aforementioned, in which you will see in the next photo.If you are unfamiliar with Kingston's marketing efforts, the packaging for the UV500 will tell you all you need to know.

While the HyperX brand is aimed at enthusiasts, any products sold with the Kingston name is all about business. As you can see in our photo above, the SATA UV500's retail packaging is quite serious, and should I say, professional and business-like.

The M2 and mSATA units simply use OEM packaging. Its predominantly white background is composed of a faded image of a man in front of a computer, while the model name, performance highlight, and storage capacity is shown in the foreground under the black strip containing Kingston's logo and the words 'Solid State Drive'. The UV500 itself is placed behind a beveled plastic shell doubling as a window showing off the SSD. At the bottom, you will find a series of texts telling you it comes with free technical support, the fact this is a 2.5' SATA device, and its three-year warranty. This is the same kind of packaging where you can hang it on a store shelf rail, but chances are that it will be locked up in the glass cabinet behind a counter, since they are quite easy to steal, haha.Before we move on, let us take a look at the specifications of the Kingston UV500 240GB, as obtained from the manufacturer's website:Interface: SATA Rev. 3.0 (6Gb/s) – with backwards compatibility to SATA Rev.

It's not going to break any speed records, but that's not really the point. Kingston sought to offer a one stop shop for users looking to upgrade their laptops without all the fuss and muss of using two system units just to pull off an upgrade, which was done so hassle-free. The bundled Acronis True Image HD will get you kickstarted on cloning your drive, and the included drive enclosure can serve you even further. Kingston's reputation in warranty also comes into play, and that's something that's really considerable when it comes to support choices.
