Not the fastest SATA drive we've seen
Kitguru says
For the consumer end of the market
Kingston's UV500 is a 960GB drive with a pretty competitive price tag

Kingston proves with the UV500 series that SATA drives are still alive and well. The security-conscious among us will very much appreciate the SED and the Security admins will like the OPAL 2.0 abilities. With capacities ranging from 120GB to nearly 2TB...
