Quote:

"Using a new generation of A19 nm Toshiba toggle NAND flash, a generous on-board cache, and the latest Marvell multi-core controller, the Plextor M6 PRO is able to take hardware performance to the practical maximum and provide ultra-stable performance at 6 Gb/s.Sustained sequential mode read performance up to 545 MB/s* and sequential write speeds up to 490 MB/s*.Real-world random read speeds reach a maximum of 100K IOPS* and up to 88K IOPS* for random writes.Speeds using exclusive PlexTurbo were up to ten times faster during testing."

Also interesting are these noteworthy numbers

• Consumption 0.25W(MobileMark) / 0.2mW(DEVSLP)


• MTBF > 2,400,000 hours

Packaging

Pretty is not the usual word used to describe any SSD but the Plextor M6 PRO is definitely no shrinking violet when it comes to aesthetics. It is endowed with a very fanciful cardboard box, gleaming in textured Rose Gold (or is it more Pink Champagne?).



Thanks or no thanks to Apple, the world is again awash in varying shades of gold which is decidedly the premium metal of choice in Asia from where Plextor & Lite-on originate.















*Do note that the higher capacity devices come with more cache RAM which should boost the overall performance as well.
