Model overview based on user reviews
The Kingston UV500 M.2 SSD is generally well-received for its enhanced performance and speed, significantly improving system boot times and application load speeds. Users appreciate its quiet operation and find it suitable for system files and programs, despite its limited memory capacity. While most reviews highlight its reliability and stable performance, one user reported a failure after three months, though they were able to return it under warranty. Overall, it is considered worth the investment for those seeking a faster alternative to traditional HDDs, with easy installation and satisfactory speed claims.

Good device, with decent speed capabilities, performance has really improved with it. Files do not disappear or get lost. It has been stable since the first days of purchase/installation. Not much memory, but the disk was taken specifically for the system. Quiet, for example. The work is good No problem use Kingston SUV500M8/120G few months |
I bought it, installed it - everything worked. Then about three months passed, everything went to hell and it stopped working, I don’t recommend it. Then I returned it under warranty, although the money was returned, now I’m sitting on the hard drive and choosing a new SSD Faster than HDD Unreliability  Sanek: use Kingston SUV500M8/120G few months |
Worth the money, the performance has increased significantly with it, now the OS loads in about 10 seconds, whereas it used to take 2 minutes sometimes. All programs run much faster. No data loss or anything else, the copying speed is pleasing, and it heats up slightly. Price Not much memory, but that's logical. use Kingston SUV500M8/120G few months |

Three from the casket
Kingston UV500 M.2 is a new line of solid state drives from the American brand, which, in addition to the M.2-SATA form factor for modern laptops (with the same connector), includes 2.5-inch SATA for desktop PCs and mSATA for older laptops. Moreover, the form factor is the only difference, otherwise all three models are identical.
Back to the roots
Kingston engineers decided to abandon the Phison S11 controller that was used in last year's A400 SSD, and returned to Marvell 88SS1074, which was the basis of the year before last UV400. At the same time, compared to the UV400, the UV500 lost its RAM cache, which negatively affected the write speed of 4K blocks (25,000 IOPS in total). To put it simply, the Kingston UV500 is relatively slow with ultra-small files (although still ten times faster than a hard drive).
Not everyone is equally beneficial
The Marvell 88SS1074 controller assumes a stable sequential read speed of 520 MB / s, but a drop in speed when writing files larger than 4 GB (from 500 to 100 MB / s). Unpleasant, but typical for 3D TLC memory, and if you want to avoid such nuances, if you please, pay extra for MLC. In general, Kingston UV500 is interesting only in M.2-SATA and mSATA formats. Classic 2.5-inch SSDs can be found cheaper and faster, such as the old but still ubiquitous Kingston UV400.
