Priced significantly higher than SATA3 SSDs of similar capacity
Most every SSD, whether standard SATA, mSATA, or PCIE SSD device will all transform the performance of your computer, and turn it in to a more efficient tool for handling large media, apps and data. Not only do our systems boot much faster, but all progra...

Still a premium cost per gigabyte, No file-transfer software, No 1TB version
The M6e M.2 PCIe, an M.2 “stick”-style SSD on a PCI Express card, lets desktop users break through the performance ceiling of 6Gbps SATA on desktop PCs that lack an M.2 slot. Read More…...

With the release of the Z97 chipset from Intel, the M.2 form factor is gaining a lot more traction. Clearly, M.2 is considerably faster than traditional SATA based SSDs. One thing to note is the M.2 specifies up to four lanes of PCIe to use with M.2 SSD d...

Alright, so after testing our first M.2 form factor SSD, we've definitely come away with some mixed impressions.In comparison to the SATA drives we've tested today, the Plextor M6e performs very well and easily goes head to head with our SATA based favori...
