The following images were taken at high-resolution and then cropped and scaled down. The camera used was a Canon DSLR shooting 12 MegaPixel photos. Right then, off we go.
The sample we have at hand is the 512 GB M.2 model. Performance is listed as 2300 MB/s for reads and 1300 MB/sec for writes with roughly 250K IOPS at 4k random writes QD32 aligned disk access with our tested model.
Above, the tested unit; you should easily be able to place the M.2 unit into a compatible motherboard. Most Z97/X99/Z170 boards support it. You should however check out with the motherboard manufacturer if you have a x4 lane PCIe version with NVMe support.
The compact M.2 2280 form factor ensures compatibility with next-generation desktop and mobile platforms that support the M.2 PCIe slot and interface.
If you strip it clean, that's it. The PCB Marvell 88SS1093 flash controller and Toshiba 15nm MLC that uses Toggle-mode NAND flash memory. In the middle you can see a DRAM Cache chip. All models get 512MB cache except for the 1 TB model that gets 1024MB cache. Plextor offers a 5-year limited warranty, they also claim a 2.4 million hour MTBF (mean time between failures) but that I am afraid means nothing as this isn't an HDD eh?
