BIOSTAR is proud to announce its latest product series targeted for power users and gamers looking for high-performance storage: BIOSTAR announces the debut their G300 series of solid-state drives (SSD). With the current trend of enthusiasts switching to SSDs for faster storage performance especially for eSports and the gaming market where performance is a key consideration, SSDs are the top choice for gamers versus traditional hard disk drives. With SSDs, games and level load faster, the system is more responsive and you spend more time gaming.

With SSDs growing in popularity as the preferred storage for gaming PCs due to their faster performance, gamers are becoming more and more stringent in their buying decisions because of the large selection of SSDs in the market. All SSDs offer better performance than conventional mechanical hard disk drives but not all SSDs are the same.

Go Faster, Go with BIOSTAR G300 Series SSD
While hard drives are offering larger and larger storage space, there are instances where faster storage is more ideal than larger hard drives. For example, competitive gamers and esports fans dedicate themselves to a certain game and only focus on this title. Dedicated eSports gaming machines only need small fraction of the total storage space and this is where SSDs are more ideal offering faster overall system responsiveness and load times as well as quicker boot times and lower system power draw thanks draw.

BIOSTAR designs the performance of the G300 series SSD for this purpose and beyond integrating high-speed DDR3 cache capabilities for extremely rapid access whilst also keeping in mind subtle design features like a smooth, unibody design with a completely screwless build promoting a minimalistic and clean look that melds with modern gaming chassis and system builds.

Is that Linus Tech Tips that it supports?

So 1 flash chip weights 1.5 grams?

The Biostar marketing team had a field day with this - "features a high-speed DDR3 cache that can provide up to twice the data transfer rate than traditional SSDs", "designed with a six-layer coating PCB for improved overall lifetime versus conventional SSDs", "The unibody casing is designed with a minimal look in mind and rounded corners, preventing accidental scratching during installation for a smoother experience.", "the first solution to adopt 4 power management chips", "Storage Media: Super Speed NAND Flash" - I like the way they call the cheapest available TLC NAND "Super Speed NAND Flash"! Can't wait for the reviewers to burst their bubble....

Unique design, obviously they aren't talking about the appearance, and it can't be the dated controller and NAND.
Anand has a review showing how poor the controller is.

BIOSTAR needs to do something good for once.
Making reference graphics cards and poorly performing SSDs is not going to cut it.

I wish they would put more effort in their motherboards but that part seems to sink for them as well

another tired combination of crappy tlc and mediocre controller.
PASS

.... and that's why I love BIOSTAR

"We bring you the future by making outdated tech." should be their motto.
At least their LGA1150 boards were more decent than equally priced crap from ASUS and MSI.

I'm still rocking an AMD e1 based motherboard (on for 24/7). Works like a charm
