Perhaps the thing we like most about Plextor is their commitment to improving their product and sticking with components that they know and trust. We can't tell you the number of times we have received e-mail from our readers who were very upset that our...
The M5 Pro has been a big success for Plextor, and with the Xtreme firmware, the company is looking to continue this momentum into 2013. The big question is, does this free firmware update live up to the hype? Does it really take the M5 Pro's performa...

Abstract: Plextor's strength lies in performance and quality. As we saw with the M3 Pro, they have a firmware team capable of delivering top-of-the-class performance: The M3 Pro was easily the fastest Marvell 88SS9174 based SSD and overall it was one of the f...
