Kingston Q500 480GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s SSD

The Kingston SQ500S37/480G is a solid state drive that brings modern speed and reliability to any computer with a standard 2.5-inch SATA bay. Offering 480GB of space, it comfortably houses an operating system alongside essential programs, project files, and a growing game library.

With sequential read speeds up to 500MB per second and write speeds up to 450MB per second, the drive cuts boot times to a fraction of what you may be used to on a mechanical hard drive. Applications open sooner, large files transfer faster, and multitasking feels smoother, making everyday work or play more enjoyable.

Installation is straightforward: connect the SATA cable, secure the drive in the 2.5-inch slot, and power up. Because most desktops and laptops already support SATA 6Gb per second, the Q500 drops in without extra adapters or special tools.

The drive contains no moving parts and is built to resist shocks and vibrations, so it handles bumps in a backpack or the occasional desktop knock better than a spinning disk. This resilience makes it a practical upgrade for students who carry laptops between classes, home users seeking a snappier family PC, or professionals who need dependable storage on the road.

Kingston backs the Q500 with a three-year limited warranty, adding peace of mind to its performance gains.
