High level of read & write IOPs
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
The Plextor M6S is a modern and capable SSD which should be more than enough for most people, while the M6 Pro is a slight step up for those who want just a little bit extra. The M6S is officially priced at Rs. 6,850 for 128GB, Rs. 12,300 for 256GB and Rs...

Abstract: So an SSD with a 6Gbps SATA 3.0 interface just isn't fast enough for you. You speed freak.I kid. Faster is always better when it comes to storage, and until loads are instantaneous, you'll never hear the phrase "it's fast enough" escape my lips. That's wh...

Priced to WinAs we have mentioned at the beginning of this review, 2014 is looking to be a bumper year for mainstream SSDs. Crucial already has the M500 and M550, while ADATA, OCZ and Samsung are joining the fray with the Premier Pro SP920SS, Vertex 460 a...
Even though the M6 Pro looks faster than the M6S, the benchmarks show that M6S is slightly faster than the M6 Pro in the HD Tach benchmarking and CrystalMark. The ATTO tool showed very similar results. While trying to copy files between the Kingston SDD...
Abstract: If you're planning on building a fast gaming computer, it comes that it should be equipped with an SSD. But then again, the choices are numerous and finding oneself battered by the voice of reason (and budget) is mind-numbing at best. To thin down your se...

Excellent performance, Ready to use in any PCIe x4 slot, Can be used in m.2 slot (voids warranty though)
PCB looks plain
If you want the fastest in storage right now, PCI Express is the way to go if you can't wait for M.2 or SATA Express....

At the end of the day, the Plextor M6e PCIE 256GB SSD has proven itself to be faster than any 2.5-inch SATA 6Gbps SSD I've seen. In most of my test, read speeds are above 600 MB/s and write speeds are above 500 MB/s. These are really good results. However...
No accessories, Performance noticeably suffers at high queue depths
