Plextor M5S Series SSD Review and Advantages
Posted: Jan 04, 2014
The Plextor M5S Series SSD continues to delivers the highest quality storage performance in the industry. Continuing with the legacy and award-winning performance of its predecessors, the M5S SSD is consistently faster and reliable. Featuring Plextor's True Speed Technology, exclusive firmware, and server-grade controller chip, the M5S SSD is capable to deliver stable data transfer speeds over the long period. In actual every-day computing environment, it is able to achieve and sustain the like-new performance even after intense activity.
The Plextor M5S SSD is engineered to delivers consistent performance. The M5S SSD clocks in random read/write speeds up to 73,000/70,000 IOPS with sequential read/write speeds up to 520/390 MB/s. Coupled with exclusive firmware and True Speed Technology, the reliable M5S SSD provides sustained high speed performance without slowing down while storing and transferring all types of data.
Setting a new standard for SSDs, the Plextor M5S SSD is designed with a high random read/write speed and consistent performance when working with non-compressible data such as encoded video, MP3 audio, or JPG images. This makes it ideal for use in audio/video workstations as it can provide fast loading and saving times for large files and make the processing of editing far smoother and easier. Also, the M5S's long-term sustainable high speed performance gives users the fast storage they need to boot, save, and load almost instantaneously.
The Plextor M5S SSD goes through the rigorous tests and is of the highest quality. Plextor's exacting requirements for quality control mean that all SSDs must meet our high standards and expectation. Each M5S drive is first subjected to a high-temperature burn-in test and then undergoes accelerated real-world simulation testing. This ensures that all drives provide long-term stability and performance.
Made For Real-World Speed
- Maximum speed performance during everyday operations - random read speed up to 73,000 IOPS and random write up to 70,000 IOPS.
- Supports SATA 6Gb/s standard for maximum transfer speeds and compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 1.5Gb/s.
- Replaces system hard drive for substantially faster boot, application opening, and shutdown times. Saves time when loading and saving large files, and smooths system operation during autosaves.
Ideal For Workstations
- No loss of speed when working with non-compressible data such as common video, audio, or photo file types.
- Controller design ensures high stability and performance during multitasking.
- Massive speed increase in storage performance over hard-drive technology along with reduced power consumption, lower noise, and less heat
Continuous High Performance
- Sustained like-new performance which eliminate the sharp drop in performance seen in many SSD devices after periods of real-world use.
- Exclusive firmware with outstanding Instant Restore feature, advanced Global Wear Leveling and Bad Block Management functions allow the SSD to operate at full potential.
- Supports SMART prediction and TRIM commands. Performance optimization and garbage collection also operate independently of the operating system
True Speed Technology
- Exclusive technology designed to prevent drastic drops in read/write speeds that normally occur with SSDs after a prolonged use or when data become heavily fragmented.
- Designed to maintain high speed performance at a like-new level throughout the life of the SSD.
