What's the Plextor PCI-E SSD about ?
So the idea and principles behind the product remain simple, SSDs placed onto a PCB delivering all the goodness over the PCIe bus is the essence of what we are talking about. The NAND flash type used has been changed to the newer and all to familiar 20nm series and last but not least, you'll spot a Marvell controller on the MX Express.
The Plextor M6e is the first ultra-fast PCI Express SSD optimized for professional gamers. Next-generation high-speed components managed by custom-developed firmware maintain smooth, fast performance and unheard of stability for the perfect gaming platform. The M6e gives gamers the smooth ultra-fast professional-grade storage and the reassurance of Plextor's legendary quality and rock-solid reliability.
The M6e combines the latest generation Marvell® 88SS9183 dual-core server-grade controller, carefully selected synchronous Toshiba Toggle NAND flash, with firmware developed and extensively tested by Plextor's in-house team. Providing updated True Speed technology guarantees that the M6e SSD will sustain long-term performance. The M6e's PCI Express interface delivers maximum sequential read/write speeds of 770/625 MB/s and random read/write speeds of 105K/100K IOPS.
The M6e uses the ultra-modern PCI Express connection to achieve new performance records. It provides higher performance and bandwidth than conventional SATA connections.
Advanced next-generation form factors supported, the M6e can help gamers easily build extreme-performance gaming computers. Utilizing a PCI Express Gen 2 x 2, the M6e bypasses the SATA speed bottleneck to improve the gaming experience.

Now, don't let the numbers fool you. These are always best case scenarios and based on peak performance. Your sustained and linear writes will show different, yet still very fast performance. Good to know is that the M6e is bootable and does not need any drivers with Windows. Let's have a more detailed look at the actual product, anyone wants some pickles with that ?
