Controller not hindered by compressible data
PCIe x4 interface removes the SATA III bottleneck
Around 50% more performance over a comparable SATA based drive
Competitive price point
Marvell controller
Consistent levels of performance
The Plextor M6S has low power consumption and is a great performance upgrade for a computer that still runs on a regular hard drive
Faster than standard SSD's
Included PlexTurbo 2.0 Software caches RAM for better performance
Aesthetically pleasing design
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
The editors didn't like
Green PCB/Dated looks
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
The 512GB M6S is still rather expensive compared to the 128GB and 256GB SKU's
Plextor M6S 256GB Solid State 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
Very expensive
Especially for the performance
Uses x4 PCIe lanes which could cause problems in Crossfire/SLI setups
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
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...

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...

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...

Abstract: It's been quite some time since our last SSD roundup and we hadn't seen much need for one until recently. SSD technology grew stale after saturating the SATA 6Gb/s bus, bringing mostly minor improvements in recent memory and making up for it with price cu...
Good sequential performance, IOPS performance at lower queue depths comparable to high end SATA units, Cost/GB is very competitive for a PCIe SSD, No driver required - uses the standard Windows Inbox SCSIPort driver, Bootable
PCIe 2.0 x2 link not fully utilized by Marvell controller, PCIe version priced at a high premium over the M.2 version, Warranty VOID sticker prevents penalty-free conversion between PCIe and M.2 form factor

The latest storage technology available on your older system, Faster performance than any SATA SSD and less complex than a RAID 0 array, Extremely easy and quick setup
Takes up a PCI Express Slot, Priced at a premium for the amount of storage given
After all the testing is done, the Plextor M6e does prove itself to be an extremely advantageous upgrade for any user without access to an M.2 slot on their motherboard, and wants to take advantage of the performance of today's latest technology moving fo...
Well Priced, High Quality Components, Exceeded Manufacturer's Specifications
The Plextor M6S 256 GB SSD is quite a good offering. The finish of the drive looks quite nice and stands out against a market of decal ladened drives. Build quality also seems to match the drive's external finish. All the internal components were well cho...
