Abstract: Last year Plextor released the M6e PCIe SSD, an M.2 form-factor SSD that supports data transfers over 2 PCIe lanes, not just SATA. We're on the cusp of breaking out of the SATA bottleneck that now constrains most SSDs. Unfortunately, very few motherboards...

Speedy data transfer rates, in excess of the best SATA SSDs, Striking black-and-red look, Free RAM-caching software
Expensive, on a per-gigabyte basis, PCIe x4 drives are coming this year

The M6e Black Edition is Plextor's latest and revision of the M6e. It boasts a new blacked out design that should prove to attract gamers as well as improved performance over the standard version. Prices are a bit high and availability will be low as wel...
The Plextor M6e Black Edition PCIe SSD looks like an entirely drive, but it's basically just a dressed up Plextor M6e that was introduced exactly one year ago. There have been no hardware changes on the M6e Black Edition other than the addition of a heats...
Alright, so with testing out of the way let's go ahead and wrap up on this review. As we expected from the advertised specifications, performance is pretty similar to the original Plextor M6e. Sequential performance is without a doubt the star of the show...

Great all around performance, Faster than standard SATA3 or mSATA SSDs, Encryption onboard, Compatible with every platform tested so far
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...
Outperformed current 2.5-inch or M.2 SATA SSDs, Enables an M.2 desktop upgrade without an M.2 slot, Five-year warranty, Much cheaper than other PCI Express-card SSDs, such as OCZ's RevoDrive line
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…...
