It comes in typical 2.5” form factor (S2C) and M.2 2280 form factor (S2G). 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 MBps and random read/write speeds of 98K/78K IOPS(S2C), 96K/77K IOPS(S2G). It combines an array of advanced SSD technologies with excusive firmware and software, pushing your computing experience to the next level. You can enjoy faster system bootup, snappier file transfers, more responsive multitasking, etc.
It’s available in 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB capacities.
PlexNitro Cache Buffer Technology Offers True Capacity
Exclusive 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" simulates a range of professional read-write scenarios to ensure stability and data security.
