  • Plextor’s M6S is one of those drives that we just want to like but it may have difficulty reaching headline-making status due to its relatively meager aspirations. Everyone pays plenty of attention to flagship SSDs and if surveys are any indication, consu...

  • Plextor has a strong relationship with Toshiba, the NAND flash manufacturer for the M6S. Having a relationship and owning a fab are still two completely different things. If Plextor is able to get the TSOP toggle flash cheap enough, then the M6S has a ch...

  • 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:  If you looking for a new M.2 or PCIe SSD this article helps you in getting an overview. So far we've tested 6 different drives and the list will grow whenever a new and relevant drive is released. ...

  • Because of the higher price per gigabyte a 120 GB SSD is not a good choice for most people. However, under certain circumstances you can save some money by buying one of these. For example in a computer for grandpa and grandma extra storage capacity mig...

  • Faster than standard SSD's, Included PlexTurbo 2.0 Software caches RAM for better performance, Aesthetically pleasing design
  • Very expensive, especially for the performance, Uses x4 PCIe lanes which could cause problems in Crossfire/SLI setups
  • There is no denying that the Plextor M6e BK is one fast SSD, especially when paired up with the PlexTurbo 2.0 software. The PCIe adapter also allows for users to make the best of M.2 SSD's which run off of your PCI lanes anyways, without the need for an M...

  • Very fast, 5 year warranty, Easy Setup
  • Green PCB/Dated looks
  • When we first cast our eyes on the the Plextor M6e we weren't exactly impressed. The aesthetics are less than pleasing and while it isn't the worst looking product we have seen, it will look out of place on a modern gaming PC which is Plextor's target mar...

  • Samsung's 850 Pro SSDs are without a doubt the fastest SSDs of this moment. Given that this product does not seem to have any flaws, we heartily recommend it to those who are looking for the fastest possible SSD. The Vector 150 and AMD Radeon R7 SSDs ar...

  • Competitive price point, Marvell controller, Consistent levels of performance
  • The 512GB M6S is still rather expensive compared to the 128GB and 256GB SKU's, Plextor M6S 256GB Solid State Drive,
  • PricingAs a performance drive targeted at the mid to high-end region of the consumer market, Plextor have taken a leaf out of Crucial's book with pricing that is highly competitive; barely tipping over the $0.52/GB mark in the process. In the US M6S Prici...
