“Plextor took their already great M6e PCIe SSD and improved upon it with a stylish new design and with improved cooling capabilities
Abstract: The first generation of native PCI-Express SSDs arrived on the market this year, albeit a little later than expected. At any rate, some of these SSDs seem to live up to the promise of providing a faster interface. We tested SSDs by Plextor, Kingston, Sa...
PCI-E storage is still relatively new and there are few options on the market, so elevated costs are to be expected. Compared to the standard M6e standalone M.2 drive and expansion card, the M6e Black Edition is not a terrible deal. You get a much needed...
Marvell controller is equally good with incompressible and compressible data, good IOPS performance, lovely looking product
twice the price of high grade 250GB SATA 3 drives, you lose a PCIe slot, overall performance is quite disappointing.
There is no doubt that the Plextor M6e Black Edition delivers credible performance – first impressions are positive, it is a very attractive product, and the raised red heatsink will look great set against some subtle system lighting.When we delve further...

Not NVMe, Expensive compared to SATA, Inconsistent performance
PC storage-focussed companies are busy trying to carve niches in a market that has become stagnant since the widely-used SATA 6Gbps theoretical limit was achieved some time ago.Some companies opt to RAID drives and place them on a faster-connecting PC...
A year ago, Plextor the first native PCI Express SSD threw for consumers in newsstand sales and now, in early 2015, it still has a unique position with it. The new M6e Black Edition is functionally basically the same as last year, but the beautiful appear...

Let us start with the pure aesthetics of this drive. The Plextor M6e Black Edition is a beauty, there is absolutely no doubt about that. The black PCB has just as a superb finish as the black coating on the cover and bracket. The red heatsink in the middl...
The first thing we need to note about the M6e Black Edition is how it affects existing M6 series owners, especially those who have the original M6e. Basically, at the drive level this is the same product. Same speeds, same features (including support for...
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...
It's time to close the review, and I will start with the my only complaint about the drive, this is not the slow write speed of the 128GB, even though I would like to have seen higher speeds, but I'm complaining about the price. If Plextor could only have...
First of all i need to point out that we don't consider 128GB to be enough for most people, not even for just the OS and the software one may need to install and since we also knew that this model would not perform on par with the 256/512G...
