Premium cost per gigabyte, No documentation or file-transfer software, No 1TB version
The first M.2 PCI Express SSD we've tested, the M6e M.2 justifies its high cost per gigabyte with blistering speed and a long warranty. The only question is whether you can actually install one. Read More…...

With the release of the Z97 chipset from Intel, the M.2 form factor is gaining a lot more traction. Clearly, M.2 is considerably faster than traditional SATA based SSDs. One thing to note is the M.2 specifies up to four lanes of PCIe to use with M.2 SSD d...
Silky smooth operation as a system drive, Outstanding sequential reading and writing performance, even at very low queue depths, Very good 4K random writing performance, Excellent 4k random reading performance at very low, and very high queue depths,
Although 4K random writing performance is very good, the Plextor M6e M.2. SSD is outpaced by many of the SATA SSDs that I have tested.
Let us summarise the most important positive and negative points belowPositiveSilky smooth operation as a system drive.Outstanding sequential reading and writing performance, even at very low queue depths.Very good 4K random writing performance.Excellent...
Alright, so after testing our first M.2 form factor SSD, we've definitely come away with some mixed impressions.In comparison to the SATA drives we've tested today, the Plextor M6e performs very well and easily goes head to head with our SATA based favori...

Unlike the previous M6e Black Edition reviews, we now have pricing information from Newegg on these products. The 128GB model we tested today lists at $199.99 at the time of writing. Newegg shows the Black Edition products available for preorder, but the...

Although SanDisk tinkered with the idea of bringing a Marvell 88SS9183 product to market (the A110), the company never brought the product to the market through normal channels. Samsung's XP941 was brought to market through back door channels, and is not...
Abstract: The first generation of native PCI-Express SSDs arrived on the market this year, albeit a little later than expected. At any rate, some of these SSDs seem to live up to the promise of providing a faster interface. We tested SSDs by Plextor, Kingston, Sa...
PCI-E storage is still relatively new and there are few options on the market, so elevated costs are to be expected. Compared to the standard M6e standalone M.2 drive and expansion card, the M6e Black Edition is not a terrible deal. You get a much needed...
Marvell controller is equally good with incompressible and compressible data, good IOPS performance, lovely looking product
twice the price of high grade 250GB SATA 3 drives, you lose a PCIe slot, overall performance is quite disappointing.
There is no doubt that the Plextor M6e Black Edition delivers credible performance – first impressions are positive, it is a very attractive product, and the raised red heatsink will look great set against some subtle system lighting.When we delve further...
Very fast with PlexTurbo, Heatsink is useful, Looks great, Five-year warranty
Not NVMe, Expensive compared to SATA, Inconsistent performance
PC storage-focussed companies are busy trying to carve niches in a market that has become stagnant since the widely-used SATA 6Gbps theoretical limit was achieved some time ago.Some companies opt to RAID drives and place them on a faster-connecting PC...
