The M3 SATA 6 Gb/s SSD is Plextor’s most advanced SSD, maintaining exceptionally high performance even after long periods of intensive use with exclusive True Speed technology. Users can expect to experience real-world speeds of up to 525 MB/s and 445 MB/s in sequential read/write, and 70,000 and 65,000 IOPS in random read/write. Supporting this sustained True Speed performance is a generous five-year warranty.
The True Speed technology used in the Plextor M3 ensures that the drive continuously delivers high performance in actual use. Long-term write speeds remain high and the severe slowdown found with some other SSDs is prevented. Powering True Speed is the unique
fusion of a server-grade controller chip, high-quality Toggle NAND flash from industry leader Toshiba, and exclusive firmware – including the Plextor Instant Restore system, advanced global wear levelling, and bad block management.
Plextor takes an uncompromising approach to quality and every SSD is backed by an extensive five-year warranty. Purchasers have the reassurance of a comprehensive support system including technical support, forums staffed by technicians, and a global network of
dealers and repair centres. Allowing us to offer this ironclad warranty is a combination of high-quality components, excellent quality control, and an insistence on fully testing all SSDs before they leave the factory. Every drive is subjected to a rigorous 20-hour high temperature burn-in test and accelerated tests to simulate real-world use. The results of our approach to testing and quality are reflected in a mere 0.5% average annual failure rate (AFR), the lowest across the industry.
The Plextor M3 series redefines quality and real-world performance; not only giving users the experience of sustained long-term speed, but the reassurance of a five-year warranty. It is available in 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB capacities.
