Aesthetically pleasing design
Breaks the SATA 3 bandwidth bottleneck of 600 MB/s
IOPS performance

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
