Plextor M6e 512GB PCI Express Solid State Drive Review

CrystalDiskMark
CrystalDiskMark is a small HDD benchmark utility for your hard drive that enables you to rapidly measure sequential and random read/write speeds.
Here are some key features of “CrystalDiskMark”:
- Sequential reads/writes
- Random 4KB/512KB reads/writes
- Text copy
- Change dialog design
- internationalization (i18n)
Unconditioned
Conditioned
Moving away from the underlying performance and looking at the sequential performance figures of CrystalDiskMark, we find that the real world sequential read speeds are a little more than that recorded within ATTO. We also note that the difference in performance as the drive gets used more is not as great as that seen before.
Drive Comparison
For the purpose of drive comparison I use the performance figures from both unconditioned and conditioned tests with 0% data fill.
With speeds reaching towards 760MB/s, the M6e is able to push out nearly 50% more than that of the Sandisk II Extreme that I looked at not too long ago.
