Plextor M6S SSD review: Slow performance for the price

Plextor dips into the budget SSD market with the M6S drive. But the company needs to cut its price even more for it to be competitive. Here's CNET's full review.

The ; has low power consumption and is a great performance upgrade for a computer that still runs on a regular hard drive.

Compared with other solid-state drives on the market, the M6S' performance is disappointing. It also comes with only a short three-year warranty.

With unimpressive performance that doesn't match its high price, there's no reason why you should pick the Plextor M6S over other SSDs on the market.

Plextor M6S (512GB)

Available in three capacities -- 128GB, 258GB, and 512GB, with the suggested retail prices of $140, $250, and $500, respectively -- the new M6S is the first I've seen from Plextor that costs less than $1 per gigabyte at launch. That's a welcome change...

Plextor M6S series review:

When compared with any consumer-grade hard drive, the Plextor M6S solid-state drive (SSD) is energy-efficient, not to mention much faster. When you stack it up against other SSDs, however, its slower performance just doesn't measure up.

Plextor M6S (256GB) - Joining the Mainstream Fray

Announced earlier this year at CeBIT 2014, the new Plextor M6S SSD has finally arrived on our shores. We put it through its paces to see how it fares against the current crop of mainstream SSDs.

Competitive performance ; Attractively priced ; Renown Plextor reliability ; Five-year warranty

No accessories ; Performance noticeably suffers at high queue depths

All in all, the Plextor M6S is a welcomed new entry to mainstream SSD market and it is an extremely attractive alternative to the Crucial M550, OCZ Vertex 460 and Samsung SSD 840 EVO. It provides competitive performance at the lowest price, and with a...
