Storage

Your StarBook will come with 512GB Gen4 PCIe SSD storage by default, which features a sequential read speed of up to 7000MB/s. Over-provisioning increases performance and IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second) whilst enhancing reliability and endurance.

You can configure it with 2TB Gen4 PCIe SSD storage, giving you more storage capacity and increased performance with sequential read speeds up to 7000MB/s.

You can upgrade or replace the SSD; this requires a small Philips screwdriver.

Firmware

Your StarBook will support American Megatrends (AMI) Aptio V and coreboot firmware.

Comparing AMI Aptio V to coreboot; it is closed-source and has many features, including Secure Boot and capsule updates. coreboot is open-source and very lightweight, allowing faster boot time and less power consumption.
By default, the Intel ME is disabled on both coreboot and AMI.

You can can switch between AMI and coreboot firmware anytime, as often as you want.

Please note - the coreboot firmware for AMD processors is currently in development. It is likely to be ready by dispatch, but it might not be. Should that happen, we will send your StarBook with AMI firmware, and you can install coreboot from the LVFS once it is available.

Storage

Your StarBook will come with 512GB Gen3 PCIe SSD storage by default, which features a sequential read speed of up to 3370MB/s. Over-provisioning increases performance and IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second) whilst enhancing reliability and endurance.

You can configure it with 2TB Gen3 PCIe SSD storage, giving you more storage capacity and increased performance with sequential read speeds up to 3370MB/s.
