M6e Black Edition PCIe SSD From Plextor With DRAM Cache

Plextor, a brand owned by Shinano Kenshi of Japan, announces its Black Edition Series SSD with M6e Black Edition PCIe SSD.

The M6e Black Edition is a professional high-performance PCIe SSD, designed for creating a gaming platform.

It combines components and newly-developed PlexTurbo 2.0 intelligent SSD caching utility, providing durability and high speed performance.
 
The M6e Black Edition with PlexTurbo 2.0 intelligent SSD caching utility overcomes the disadvantages of current caching technology. With the memory management booster, PlexTurbo 2.0 not outruns other caching technologies in performance but also analyzes a huge amount of operation data to avoid unnecessary write operation to reduce write usage of SSD and to prevent memory data loss when the PC crashes or the power goes out.
 
The M6e Black Edition is powered by the duo-core server grade Marvell 88SS9183 controller chip supporting the Toggle NAND flash by Toshiba to meet the requirements of computer speed from professional gamers and players. It also integrates with Plextor’s True Speed Technology to prevent drops in speeds after prolonged use in a real-world environment with astonishing R/W speeds of up to 770/625 MB/s in sequential mode, and 105K/100K IO/s for random R/W operations.
 
The M6e Black Edition has PCle controller chips to allow users to enjoy high transfer speed, superior than SATA III via the PCIe Gen II x2 interface. The overall performance of the gaming platform is further optimized to develop performance. It also supports Duo BIOS and users can select to set Legacy or UEFI BIOS as the boot disk without installing extra drivers. The new generation UEFI BIOS can speed up boot-up time by 2x coupled with the high performance of the AHCI driver interface ensures that users can boot up systems at high speeds at any time and enjoy games in no time.
 
In order to continue the stable performance and high quality of Plextor SSD, the M6e Black Edition has also been put through tests by using SSD testing equipment and professional simulation of a real world environments, such as the Plextor Durability Test, to ensure that the M6e has MTBF of 2.4 million hours.
 
“We considered the suggestions of global players when designing the look and added the huge black and red cooling fins to quench the thirst of players looking for an advanced gaming platform. The M6e Black Edition, equipped with PlexTurbo 2.0, meets the experience and visual requirements of players in performance and appearance. The M6e Black Edition is absolutely the ideal choice of creating a dreaming gaming platform,” said Lear Wu, global sales manager, Plextor.
 
The M6e Black Edition PCIe SSD with PlexTurbo 2.0 features 5-year support and warranty. The M6e Black Edition is expected to be available in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities in February, 2015.
