GAMESORE.ID, Jakarta – Feel your PC or laptop is slow when you use it? Or, the game loading process takes a long time? Replace your hard drive and switch to SSD! All your complaints can certainly be resolved this way.

Solid State Drive or SSD is a storage medium that has the same function as a hard drive. The difference is, SSDs have faster read and write speeds so they can improve the performance of their PC or Laptop users. Not only that, SSDs are also known to be more energy efficient and durable.

Currently, there are many SSDs on the market. In fact, now SSD prices have started to be affordable and can be purchased at a fairly cheap price. One of them, you can buy an SSD from a brand called Lexar. If you have never heard of this brand, you can refer to the following article Lexar, Brand New SSD Ready to Work on the Share of Indonesian Gamers

In order to complete our curiosity about this product, we finally tried to do a full review of one of its products, the Lexar NS100. This SATA SSD with a 2.5-inch form factor is sold in several capacity variants ranging from 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. And for the unit we are reviewing this time, it has a capacity of 512GB.

Design

The design of the Lexar NS100 itself is almost the same as other SSDs with a gray color complete with the Lexar logo. This SSD is quite thin at 7mm high and 69.85mm wide. The weight is also very light, which is only 34grams. If this SSD is installed on a laptop, of course it can make your laptop lighter. Oh yes, this SSD can be installed on various devices provided that the device supports the SATA III interface.

Performance

Inside the package, Lexar claims that the NS100 SSD has data transfer speeds of up to 520MB/s. To find out the truth of this claim, we also did a little testing using a software called AS SSD Benchmark. Prior to the test results, the Lexar NS100 SSD was installed on a PC with a Windows operating system with the following specifications:

• Motherboard: ROG Strix X370I
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
• VGA: Nvidia GTX 1060-3GB
• RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 C15 2x8GB
• PSU: Seasonic Prime Titanium 650W

The following are the results of the tests carried out by the GAMESORE.ID team:

From the results of these tests, it can be seen that the claims made by Lexar are indeed true. It even counts a little faster. We also did a little testing when moving files with a capacity of about 4GB. As a result, the file can be moved in just 17 seconds. We have done several SSD trial scenarios such as playing games, browsing the internet, using editor software, and many others. After switching to an SSD, the author feels a significant difference in PC performance that makes work faster.

Conclusion

Lexar NS100 is able to provide faster performance on your PC or laptop device. This SSD also provides several capacity options which of course can adjust your budget and your needs for SSD-class fast storage media. When compared to other SSD products, the price offered by Lexar is quite competitive and of course it can be a recommendation for those of you who want to switch to SSD. For the 512GB variant that we are reviewing this time, it is priced at around Rp. 800,000. As for the 256GB variant, it is sold at a price of around Rp. 455,000 and the 128GB variant is sold at a price of Rp. 285,000. In Indonesia itself, Lexar is distributed directly by PT. Astrindo.
