Plextor M5S 128gb RM299

actually why plextor & intel520 price diff so much?

Warranty period, performance, etc. Intel 520 series with 5 years warranty often shows significant higher price. Compare with other brands with 5 years warranty actually much and more the same.

the plextor is running only 3gb/s or 6gb/s?
IINM intel520 is running on 6gb/s righht?

plextor is running on 6gb/s speed while backward compatible with 3gb/s

only few brand SSD has SATA 2 3gb/s connector at this moment. most of the SSD is on SATA3 6gbps connection

going to buy a mushkin chronos 120gb, let say compare it to samsung 840 120gb, which one is better.

really cant find the full specs of mushkin. any pro?

It's not available with a couple of sites I've checked. Still, the Chronos uses SandForce technology, so you can use other SandForce SSDs as a rough estimate. Like Intel's 335.

hmm, sandforce controller i think not really special now, all company already using their own controller because now they can do so.

Hi guys. Is the Intel 525 mSATA series any good?

It's fine, although pricey, for mSATA form factors. If you don't require mSATA, normal 2.5" SATA SSDs are much better options.

is IOPS important for a SSD?

The IOPS mean how many operations per second can the drive do, the more IOPS the better.

i saw from a website saying plextor pro is better than intel 520 is it really true for people using plextor?

520 is old ssd already, Plextor m5p is newer and using newer Marvel SSD controller.

LOL...didnt update myself towards TECH stuff...btw.. the plextor is actually what company & how reliable is it?

plextor is very old company liao...a few decades but its products very rare in Malaysia. Maybe they do lots of OEM?

They made CD/DVD drive, probably one of the best CD/DVD rom/writer maker.
And the most important one, their SSD performane/price ratio is very good compare to other SSD maker, i bought the M5P 256GB at 289 SGD, the other brands were above 300 SGD and mostly 3 years warranty only iirc.

coz was researching for 120gb SSD ++
256gb is too exp for me.. my budget is around rm500
so i think i should get 128gb m5pro

A wise choice.

all this while i tot Intel520 was the best.. i tot plextor don't know from which china company
