BIOSTAR, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, and storage devices announced the S100 Plus series SSD, an affordable solid state drive (SSD) with outstanding performance for laptop and desktop computer upgrades. Built in a beautifully designed 2.5-inch unibody with ultra-slim 7.0mm casing, featuring an ultra-stable shock-proof design. The S100 Plus Series SSDs are available in 240GB and 480GB, making upgrading or replacing previous generation storage more accessible than ever.

With the SATA3 6GB/s interface, the S100 240GB Plus has sequential read/write speeds of 510MB/s and 370MB/s, and the S100 480GB Plus with read/write speeds of 540MB/s and 460MB/s to achieve ultra-fast game or software access. Compared with traditional hard drives, the read/write speed is an improvement of up to 200-300% in performance, which offers a whole new gaming and work experience.





The S100 Plus series SSD has an ultra-slim metal unibody casing which is only 7.0mm in thickness, allowing it to fit in even the slimmest laptops. Yet, it is ultra-stable thanks to the patented shock proof design which is a crucial feature for gamers or content creators on-the-go. The S100 Plus Series SSD is equipped with a six-layer quality PCB, making it ultra-durable in harsh environments (up to 70˚C (158˚F)) and still able to operate smoothly to meet the demands of hardcore users.

"We are excited to make the ultra-fast, ultra-durable SSDs more accessible to all gamers with the S100 Plus Series SSDs," said Kevin Cheng, Global Marketing Manager of BIOSTAR." Aside from our popular RACING series motherboards and graphics cards, we now provide a wider selection of components for gamers who are looking to maximize their performance."



BIOSTAR continues to grow its portfolio of PC and laptop components for gamers and content creators. The S100 Plus Series SSD is perfect for enhancing gaming and work performance at exceptional value. The S100 240GB Plus is sold at US$35 and the S100 480GB Plus is sold at US$59.

Load of crap for crap SSD in a standard in case there is no more then controler and memory unit. ! SATA3 is limited ! 360 Mb / s or 460 Mb / s is not good writing speed for SSD ! 200 to 300% of the price should fall according to the compression per unit . Speed improvement of up to 200-300% it's empty straw ..:banghead::shadedshu::kookoo:

I googled the model name to find out more info (i was looking for the controller) only to find that Avexir has an SSD with the same name released in 2016 -- Im not 100% certain if these SSDs are the same but just rebranded or if the S100 model name is just a coincidence. Its more than likely legit because Biostar dont really make SSDs in the same way as Kingston, Samsung, Crucial or Western Digital etc etc do. They partner up and have an OEM make them before putting their name on it.

I still dont know who the controller is made by.
