The Plextor M5S 6 Gb/s SSD puts the legendary power and high performance of a Plextor SSD inside any PC workstation. It has random read/write speeds of 73,000/70,000 IOPS with sequential read/write speeds of 520/390 MB/s. The hard-working M5S is an SSD that provides sustained high performance without slowing down and delivers consistent speeds for all types of data. Setting a new standard in entry-level SSDs, the M5S’s long-term high performance gives users the fast storage they need to boot, save, and load almost instantaneously.
With Plextor’s exclusive firmware technology and server-grade controller chip, the M5S SSD is able to deliver stable data transfer speeds over the long term. In actual use, it is able to achieve like-new performance even after intense activity.
The M5S 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.
Plextor’s exacting requirements for quality control mean that all Plextor SSDs must meet our high standards. 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.
An entry-level SSD built without compromise, the hard-working M5S offers stability with the constant high performance your PC needs to operate at speed. The M5S is available in 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB capacities.
