Review: Plextor M6V 256 GB SSD
We have a look at the new Plextor M6V series SSDs. These SSDs are all about value for you hard earned money. This Toshiba based SSD is to be the cost effective product in their value series and comes with the latest iteration of Toshiba Toggle NAND flash memory. We are not disappointed at all in regards to performance versus price.

Little typo
I do not think this SSD can perform 300 GB/sec.
Little typo
Sequential and sustained writes hover at 300 GB/sec which is plenty fast, meaning copying an ISO or MKV file will drop down to values at say 200~300 MB/sec.
I do not think this SSD can perform 300 GB/sec.

Very nice review, as usual...(Although feel free to edit "Vista" out of your review modules as the reference is now getting just a bit long in the tooth...:nerd
I noticed that the AS SSD bench version you're using is an older one (new one is 1.8.xxxx.xxxxx), but the compression bench for my EVO 850 256GB drive was surprisingly much faster than the Plextor in this test...write-compression speeds for the EVO hovered around the 459MB/s mark, whereas your Plextor shows write compression @ ~340MB/s mark. (Read speeds were a tie, here.) The difference of roughly 120MB/s slower (than the EVO) holds in the regular sequential-write benchmark, too. I'm wondering if the EVO actually writes that much faster, or whether this is just an artifact of the newer AS SSD benchmark version....(My EVO is running on the AMD 970a core-logic with the 9/2014 1.3.1.245 AMD SATA drivers in AHCI mode...on the SB950 chipset that supports RAID 0, RAID1, RAID5 and RAID 10)
I'm also wondering why the EVO is warrantied for 5 years & the Plextor for 3...a result of lower longevity expectations, or a difference in estimated cycle calculations? Opinions?

Got Vertex 460a 240GB version for W10 testing at 4 Euro lower price. it performs better.
Those manufacturers who can't get there with performance should go for low power consumption as in netbooks any SSD makes huge difference, only if there were some with very low power consumption at idle/load.
Hilbert, do you think you can get SATA power cable with power consumption measurement modification and include real power consumption comparison into testing in time?
because while you stated it eats approximately 4W, their sheet states that 128GB version is 5V & 1A; 256GB requires 5V & 1.5A; and 512GB version supposedly needs 5V & 2A.
That may mean those things are quite power hungry.
