  • 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...

  • The M6S is the next logical step for Plextor. Transitioning towards 20nm NAND from Toshiba brings down the prices. The product itself offers very good performance. And sure, a more expensive brand might be 50 MB/sec faster overall, but really at these pe...

  • The M6e is fast. There's no doubt about that. It's able to hang with the other high-end SSDs we've ever tested. In fact, SanDisk's M.2-based, PCIe-attached A110 is similar, though also a bit faster. But you can't buy the OEM-only A110, whereas Plextor's o...

  • Abstract:  Continuing our spring full of SSDs, the next drives under the scope are Plextor's M6S and M6M. Both drives were already showcased at CES this year but after a series of delays the release was pushed to April, which brings us to this review. Similar to the...

  • As stated a couple of times now, this product shows what the very near future of SSDs will be like. Until motherboards get SATA Express, M.2. will be the next best thing. Once Intel releases their next-generation motherboard chipsets and once they get wi...

  • The Plextor M6S has low power consumption and is a great performance upgrade for a computer that still runs on a regular hard drive
  • Compared with other solid-state drives on the market, the M6S' performance is disappointing. It also comes with only a short three-year warranty
  • With unimpressive performance that doesn't match its high price, there's no reason why you should pick the Plextor M6S over other SSDs on the market....

  • Abstract:  Plextor is launching two new SSDs under its M6 banner. The M6S and M6M lean on Toshiba's A19 flash and Marvell's updated 9188 silicon. Together, both components (plus some custom firmware work) should augment value and speed in a couple of form factors. ...

  • Excellent performance, Easy to install (in a desktop PC, that is), No device driver required
  • Suited only to desktop PCs, More expensive than SSDs with SATA 3.0 interfaces
  • For a price tag that's just a little higher than an SSD with a SATA 3.0 interface, Plextor's M6e delivers a 20-percent jump in read performance....

  • The Plextor M6e native PCIe X2 M.2 SSD breaks the SATA barrier by reaching performance of 760MB/s, and better, yet, includes a 5 year warranty and adapter that makes the m6e compatibile with any PC with an open PCIe X4 slot....
