kingston.com/Q500

Incredible speeds plus rock-solid reliability.


Kingston’s Q500 solid-state drive dramatically improves the responsiveness of
your existing system with incredible boot, loading, and transfer times compared
to mechanical hard drives. Powered by a latest-gen controller for read and write
speeds up to 500MB/s and 450MB/s1, this SSD is 10x faster than a traditional hard
drive1 for higher performance, ultra-responsive multi-tasking, and an overall
faster system.

Also more reliable and durable than a hard drive, Q500 is built with Flash memory.
There are no moving parts, making it less likely to fail than a mechanical hard
drive. It’s also cooler and quieter, and its shock and vibration resistance makes it
ideal for notebooks and other mobile computing devices.

Q500 is available in multiple capacities from 120GB–960GB2 to give you all the
space you need for applications, videos, photos and other important documents.
You can also replace your hard drive or a smaller SSD with a drive big enough
to hold all your files.

The 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 motherboard. Speed may vary due to host
hardware, software and usage. IOMETER Random 4k Random Read/Write is based on 8GB partition.
2 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 Controller model may vary.
4 Limited warranty based on 3 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.
5 Total Bytes Written (TBW) is derived from the JEDEC Client Workload (JESD219A).
