Biostar S160 256GB SATA SSD

The Biostar S160 is a 2.5 inch internal solid-state drive built for everyday computing. It fits laptops and desktops that use the SATA interface and need a straightforward storage upgrade.

256GB capacity with 550MB/s reads

The 256GB drive uses 3D TLC memory and a MaxIO 1102 controller to deliver up to 550MB/s sequential read and 500MB/s write. That speed handles operating systems, applications and general file storage comfortably, while heavier media libraries or large game installs will eventually fill the space.

Replaces mechanical hard drives for silent speed

Swapping a spinning hard drive for this SSD removes noise, cuts power draw and drops the weight to 36g at 7.0mm thin. The jump is worth it when faster boot times, quicker app launches and shock-resistant operation matter more than maximum capacity.

Questions about this item

Will the S160 256GB SSD fit in a laptop that only has a 7.0mm 2.5-inch drive bay?

Yes, the drive is 7.0mm high and uses the standard 2.5-inch SATA form factor, so it fits any bay that accepts a 7.0mm SATA drive.

How can I confirm the S160 is delivering its rated 550MB/s read and 500MB/s write speeds after installation?

Run a sequential benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark or AS SSD on the SATA III port; you should see results close to 550MB/s read and 500MB/s write.

Does the S160-256GB retail box include a SATA data cable or a mounting bracket for a desktop 3.5-inch bay?

The package contains only the 2.5-inch 7.0mm SSD itself; cables and brackets are not included.
