Quoting the advertisment I just got in the mail Tuesday, the "S" is for 
speed.  How fast you ask?

Let's see here...

The Ultradrive 80 has an average access time of 28ms
The Ultradrive 80S has an average access time of 19ms

There are other drive sizes listed in the brochure, but they all have
similiar (read + or - 1ms for the S series).

I don't know about reliability.  All facts quoted from this advertisement.
I am not, will not, could not, have not been associated with GCC Technologies.
