PLDS Corporation - PX-512S2C

Best entry-level SSD upgrade

Plextor has combined advanced SSD technology with proprietary firmware and software to create the S2 series of SSDs that offer users the best cost vs. performance ratio. The S2 series uses high quality components such as the Hynix 16nm TLC NAND Flash memory and the latest SMI controller chip to deliver continuous blazing read/write speeds of up to 520/450 MB/s and random read/write speeds of 98K/78K IOPS(S2C), 96K/77K IOPS(S2G). The exceptional performance offers first time users and enthusiasts the most affordable SSD upgrade.

PlexNitro cache buffer technology offers true capacity

Proprietary PlexNitro technology uses the SLC cache mechanism making over-provisioning (OP) unnecessary for improved read/write performance. This puts the full capacity of the SSD at the user's fingertips. For a 128 GB TLC SSD, where other brands have only 120GB available after OP is deducted, S2 delivers the full 128GB without any compromises in performance. What a great offer in terms of cost vs. performance!

Flawless Plextor Quality

The S2 series maintains the standard for flawless quality set by Plextor. Like other PLEXTOR products, it has passed rigorous inspections under the most advanced SSD testing equipment in the world; not a single error or fault is allowed (Zero Error). The "Plextor endurance testing mechanism" simulate a range of professional read-write scenarios to ensure stability and data security.

•  100% Burn-in / Aging Test
•  48hrs Sustained Read and Write Test
•  4000 Times Idle Test – Sleep and Hibernation Test
•  250 Times Power Cycle – Cold and Warm Boot Test
•  1008hrs of Zero-Error Testing
•  Mean Time Between Failures of 1.5 Million Hours
