Avexir brings its flashy LEDs to a new SSD

Avexir

Avexir is a little-known company compared to the giants of PC memory such as Corsair and Kingston, but it does make some very pretty RAM. PC Gamer got a look at some of that flashy RAM, complete with bright LEDs, a few months ago. Now, Avexir has moved into the SSD market, announcing the S100.

Avexir’s kind of ridiculous, but undeniably fun designs have carried over to the S100, which has a “breathing LED light effect.” The company says that even lighting is ensured throughout the SSD, “creating the perfect rhythm in your PC for the best visual experience.”

The S100 is powered by a JMicron controller, and uses original NAND flash chips. It has sequential read/write speeds of 540/450 MB/s, with 80,000 IOPS random 4k write. The S100 comes with “an exclusive designed SATA cable and 3.5-inch bracket. It comes in 120GB, 240GB, and 480GB capacities with a three year warranty.

The specs for the S100 aren’t mind-blowing, but if you’re thinking about building a PC that's more about design than function, then it could be a fun way to go. Avexir hasn’t announced any pricing information yet, but you can expect it to be a bit pricier than SSDs with similar stats.
