Plextor Launches the S1 Series: The Best Entry-level SSD

The trend of SSD nowadays is shifting from
MLC to a more cost efficient TLC flash memory and Plextor too with no
exception, will be fully adopting the TLC memory on its upcoming products. As
there are users who still prefer MLC SSD, Plextor, the world’s leading brand in
high-performance digital storage devices today announces its last model in the
MLC SSD product line, the S1 Series SSD for these users.

Plextor’s S1 series are designed
with the best price-performance ratio in mind to meet the need of the Southeast
Asian Market and will only be available for the Southeast Asia region because
of the limited quantity of the MLC SSD. This means, you will have to come to
the Southeast Asia region for the last chance to buy the MLC flash memory based
SSD.

The strength of S1’s core components comes from the Toshiba’s high-quality Toggle Mode MLC NAND flash memory, as well as
the SMI’s well-reputed SM2246
controller. By extending Plextor’s exclusive firmware
technology, and employing industry-preferred components, the S1 series provides
users with performance up to 510/440 MB/s in sequential read/write and 74K/79K IOPS
in random read/write, respectively. The excellent performance data exhibited by the
S1 series bring application advantages to users which exceed those of
entry-level solutions.

The S1
series is suitable as an entry-level SSD for all types of users to drastically improve the load
time of all applications, increase productivity, improve power efficiency, and
enhance total system responsiveness. The S1 may not be the fastest drive on the
market, but was carefully designed to provide the best value possible and still
perform at amazing SSD speeds that won’t break the bank.

factory tests and with no doubt, meet the needs of SSD storage and upgrade
requirements by desktop and laptop users. The S1 series SSD will be available
