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
As stated a couple of times now, this product shows what the very near future of SSDs will be like. Until motherboards get SATA Express, M.2. will be the next best thing. Once Intel releases their next-generation motherboard chipsets and once they get wi...

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....

Abstract: Plextor is launching two new SSDs under its M6 banner. The M6S and M6M lean on Toshiba's A19 flash and Marvell's updated 9188 silicon. Together, both components (plus some custom firmware work) should augment value and speed in a couple of form factors. ...

The Plextor M6e native PCIe X2 M.2 SSD breaks the SATA barrier by reaching performance of 760MB/s, and better, yet, includes a 5 year warranty and adapter that makes the m6e compatibile with any PC with an open PCIe X4 slot....
Plextor’s M6S is one of those drives that we just want to like but it may have difficulty reaching headline-making status due to its relatively meager aspirations. Everyone pays plenty of attention to flagship SSDs and if surveys are any indication, consu...

Plextor has a strong relationship with Toshiba, the NAND flash manufacturer for the M6S. Having a relationship and owning a fab are still two completely different things. If Plextor is able to get the TSOP toggle flash cheap enough, then the M6S has a ch...
