Every now and then a manufacturer manages to surprise us with something really good. And here we are, meet the new M10P from Plextor. This round it does not have a Phison PS5018-E18 controller, and as it turns out, that brings in tremendously good results closing in on 7 GB/sec.

Out of curiosity, which games?
As that's generally one of the metrics that sees little to no difference between SATA and NVME drives so I'm interested to see if it's something I can test myself. Also worth keeping in mind there might be unrelated reasons as well, a mostly full disk can't do proper garbage collection and tends to perform worse for example.
I´ve only tried a few games because i did a fresh install.
Speaking of those games, Path of Exile loads are almost instant, with the Samsung 970 evo they would take 15 to 30 seconds. Doom takes between 15 to 25 seconds to load, before it would take between 30 to 60 seconds. Cyberpunk loads in 10/20 seconds, something i consider amazing considering we are talking about an huge open world.
I still have to try more games but the improvements are significant so far in this aspect.
But to be interily fair, i have to say i did a fresh Windows install and i move from W7 to W10 but i doubt Windows "responsability" in the improvement of loading times because of all the crap running in the background. In W7 i would have around 75 active processes running, in W10 i have around 145 processes...
I would love to know what all those processes are doing...

Only thing I ask, is there any possible way to order this darn drive in the USA?
I have searched everywehre and short of making a wholeseller account on MALabs.com, I cannot find anyplace that sells these bloody drives. My first real SSD Setup was a Raid-0 Plextor M3Pro combo on a X48/Q9550 build and man, those drives were fast as hell back then. 1GB/s Sequential read back then was pretty mind blowing.
Now of course we know Sequential isn't the only number that matters, and Plextor shows it again, but this time I just cannot find anyplace to get the darn things.
