The M6e sports the latest generation Marvell® 88SS9183 flash controller with multiple cores for efficient performance during intense usage. The M6e’s PCI express interface delivers maximum sequential read/write speeds of 770/625 MB per second and random read/write speeds of 105,000 and 100,000 IOPS. The M6e is automatically recognized as an AHCI device, requiring no additional drivers. When used as an ultra-fast boot disk on a system with UEFI, startup times are cut in half. The M6e comes in capacities up to 512GB.
The entire M6e series is backed by a five-year warranty and the reassurance of Plextor’s long reputation for quality, testing, and rock-solid reliability. All Plextor products feature custom in-house design, development, and manufacturing by the company’s engineers.
