Plextor M9Pe 512GB M2 NVMe SSD review - Product Showcase

Product Showcase

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 model. Performance is listed as 3200 MB/s for reads and 200 MB/sec for writes with roughly 280K IOPS at 4k random writes QD32 aligned disk access with our tested model.  The 256GB version is slower in writes, the 1TB version roughly equal.
 


 
Above, the tested unit; you should easily be able to place the M.2 unit into a compatible motherboard. Most Z97/X99/Z170/Z270 X299 and for AMD X370 / X399 boards support 100%. You should, however, check out with the motherboard manufacturer if you have an x4 lane PCIe 3.0 version with NVMe support so that you can benefit from the full available bandwidth and thus performance.

 


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. Too bad the PCB color is green. I've mentioned that many times already with many manufacturers. I think the problem is production cost, the SSD market is cutthroat, and a green PCB is cheap opposed to say a black colored one. Yes, the margins are that tight these days.
  

 
If you strip it clean, that's it. The PCB Marvell 88SS1093 flash controller and Toshiba 15nm TLC that uses Toggle-mode NAND flash memory (= asynchronous and boost performance). In the middle, you will spot a DRAM Cache chip. 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? Next page please, where we'll look into the components used.
