Today we’ll be taking a quick look at the BIOSTAR S120 – 256GB SATA SSD, which uses a new type of SSD controller from Maxio. Looking at the specifications, BIOSTAR claims that the S120 offers a maximum read performance of 550MB/s with a write speed of 520MB/s. In terms of performance, it should fall somewhere in between their G330 and G300 SSDs.

SSDs are now an essential part of today’s PCs. As prices go down, there’s no reason not to get yourself a SSD as an OS drive (boot drive), or if your budget allows, get a larger capacity SSD and use it as a main C: drive.
