  • Once again the balance of our results speak for themselves. The Plextor M6e excelled in sequential and randomised read/write despite the relative immaturity of both the platform and the interconnect, reaching a peak of 770MB/s read and 570MB/s write i...

  • 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...

  • High level of read & write IOPs, Controller not hindered by compressible data, PCIe x4 interface removes the SATA III bottleneck, Around 50% more performance over a comparable SATA based drive
  • Requires a PCIe x4 lane to operate at full speed – systems without this are not compatible – Although the SATA version of this drive will offer an alternative,
  • PricingAt this moment in time the new M6 line of drives are not yet available to buy and pricing is still yet to be confirmed. This said however, taking the factor of a new type of drive into account and the performance that is on offer, I would expect to...

  • Abstract:  Plextor is launching two new SSDs under its M6 banner. The M6S and M6M lean on Toshiba's new A19 flash and Marvell's updated 9188 silicon. Together, the two features should help the Japanese nameplate mix value and speed. Today, we'll see if that's true. ...

  • Abstract:  Last month we published a review on Intels new 730 series SSD , based on the same controller that you can find in Intel enterprise SSDs. As the controller is developed in house by Intel they claim that the consistency in the performance of these drives ...

  • Abstract:  Plextor is first to the market with a native PCI-Express SSD for desktop PC's, the M6. Is it good enough to make the abundance of current available SATA 600 SSD's look obsolete? Hardware.info tests the 256GB version of the M6 to find out It will not c...

  • 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....

  • When looking at the design and build quality of the M6e we have a drive which uses quality branded components and seems to be assembled well. The LEDs could be a lttle more stylish though but that is a minor issue. Where we have a bigger problem is in the...

  • Breaks the SATA 3 bandwidth bottleneck of 600 MB/s, IOPS performance, no drivers, simply plug and play, excellent boot drive option, Ideal for a boot drive or large storage drive for video editing, equally good with compressible and incompressible data, frees more SATA ports for storage,
  • May not be suitable for people with multiple video cards, Kitguru says: Extremely high performance, and at 82p per GB it offers good value for money too, Rating: 9.0, Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11, Share, Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Stumbleupon, LinkedI
  • The Plextor M6e PCI Express 512GB SSD has certainly left a positive impression after many days of stress testing. A substantial portion of the enthusiast userbase have been wary of adopting a PCI Express drive as many we have reviewed in the past have req...
