Abstract: It's been quite some time since our last SSD roundup and we hadn't seen much need for one until recently. SSD technology grew stale after saturating the SATA 6Gb/s bus, bringing mostly minor improvements in recent memory and making up for it with price cu...
Good sequential performance, IOPS performance at lower queue depths comparable to high end SATA units, Cost/GB is very competitive for a PCIe SSD, No driver required - uses the standard Windows Inbox SCSIPort driver, Bootable
PCIe 2.0 x2 link not fully utilized by Marvell controller, PCIe version priced at a high premium over the M.2 version, Warranty VOID sticker prevents penalty-free conversion between PCIe and M.2 form factor

The latest storage technology available on your older system, Faster performance than any SATA SSD and less complex than a RAID 0 array, Extremely easy and quick setup
Takes up a PCI Express Slot, Priced at a premium for the amount of storage given
After all the testing is done, the Plextor M6e does prove itself to be an extremely advantageous upgrade for any user without access to an M.2 slot on their motherboard, and wants to take advantage of the performance of today's latest technology moving fo...
Well Priced, High Quality Components, Exceeded Manufacturer's Specifications
The Plextor M6S 256 GB SSD is quite a good offering. The finish of the drive looks quite nice and stands out against a market of decal ladened drives. Build quality also seems to match the drive's external finish. All the internal components were well cho...
Available in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities, Good sequential read and write performance, Performs equally well with compressible and incompressible data, SATA 6Gb/s interface, Toggle Mode MLC NAND flash, Large DRAM cache, Exclusive firmware with Instan
Random write performance at low queue depths could be better, Does not support TCG Opal or eDrive encryption
While the M6S isn't Plextor's fastest or most feature packed SSD, it's a great solution for the consumer looking to boost the performance of their existing desktop or notebook computer. Similar to what we saw with the M6M, the M6S combines Marvell's 88SS9...

Abstract: Over the past few years, we've seen two tiers of solid-state drives (SSDs) emerge-conventional drives that utilize the SATA protocol, and a more expensive set of products that rely on PCI Express (PCIe) cards. The PCIe models are often faster than standar...
Build Quality (Toshiba 19nm ToggleMode NAND Flash/Marvell Controller), Good Performance, 3 Years Warranty
Overall Performance (Compared To The Competition), Price (Compared To The Competition)
After wrapping up all tests of the PX-256M6S (M6S) we all sat down and tried to figure out what Plextor did wrong this time over since although marginally better compared to the previous generation PX-256M5Pro model (M5 Pro) it didn't do so well against i...
Although Plextor promotes its M6e PCIe drive as a flagship and innovative solution, we've formed a different opinion about it. Yes, the PCI Express bus is good. It has more bandwidth than SATA. But for an SSD to be regarded as a high-performance solution,...
CrystalDiskMark is a small benchmark utility for drives and enables rapid measurement of sequential and random read/write speeds. Note that CDM only supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ) with a queue depth of 32 (as noted) for the last listed benchmark sc...

Abstract: More than a decade has passed since PATA (Parallel ATA) was made redundant by SATA. Originally designed to provide a maximum throughput of 16MB/s, PATA and was eventually upgraded to 133MB/s, which may still seem like plenty when you consider today's desk...
