S100 plus is the new ssd drive from biostar focused on gaming

Biostar expands its storage series with the S100 Plus. These are 2.5-inch SATA3 drives, which promise to be a great budget option in the segment.

Biostar S100 Plus comes in 240 and 480 GB capacities with a 'unibody' design

Its 7mm thick aluminum case allows it to also be used as a storage upgrade on an Ultrabook, one of the many advantages we have with the S100 Plus series, which comes in sizes of 240 or 480GB capacity.

Indeed, Biostar offers the S100 Plus in sizes of 240GB or 480GB. On the performance side, the 240GB model runs at sequential read speeds of 510MB / s and sequential write speeds of 370MB / s. The 480GB variant is faster, with sequential read speeds of up to 540MB / s and sequential write speeds of 460MB / s.

Each SSD uses a 6-layer printed circuit board and can withstand operating temperatures between 0 ~ 70 ° C. The chassis also features a screwless design for a sleeker look and vibration-free operation, also referred to as a 'unibody' design.

How much do these S100 Plus SSDs cost?

Both appear to be extremely affordable with the 240GB version starting at $ 35. Meanwhile, the 480GB version costs less than double, about $ 59. This could be a very good alternative to other low cost units, like the ADATA SU650 or Kingston UV500.
