haha here the price of plextor drives are relatively expensive.

m6p's price is the same as 840 evo?! you're so lucky :/ mlc + ram-caching + 5-year warranty, that's a damn good deal.

Hi, asking sifu here.. Can i put 7mm ssd into 9.5mm in notebook? I dont have 9.5mm spacer. Will it fit?

Edited: One more thing, i saw people selling oem ssd e.g, micron, liteOn. I tried google it, and those oem brands got a very good score in ssd.userbenchmark. anyone using those ssd?

I'm using 256GB Micron C400 SSD for 10 months now, still in working condition. Here is the benchmark:

it will fit. no spacer required usually.

yes i tried liteon previously. for general use, no problem. the reason why oem drives are way cheaper is because the lack of warranty. other than that, they are all good.

Hi all, I have a qn.

Just wondering is there any factor that can make your SSD random read and write(IOPS) drop?

I noticed mine dropped significantly after adding a second SSD into my rig.

In my situation, i have a Samsung SSD 840 running for a couple of months and the read and write speed seems normal, but the IOPS dropped. Noticed it after i added a second SSD.

A new Samsung 850 SSD added into the rig, the read and write seems gone haywire, you can see the screenshot. And the IOPS doesn't even reach the standard performance of what Samsung 850 SSD can offer.

Is this all normal or something wrong in my system? Running windows 8.1 64 bit.

This is a benchmark for 850 SSD

This is a benchmark for 840 SSD

Nvm. Found the culprit

I enabled the rapid mode and totally forgot about that

Ditto Plextor is on the Premium level. Malaysia market too small so Plextor rather give way for Samsung and Intel. Sigh...

Price at first launch, though 840 EVO price already dropped further.
I went to shop yesterday i think they still have the external enclosure left lol

It's so damn cheap you can pretty much forget the external HDD or big capacity thumbdrive, because the later are slower/unreliable and much more expensive

this is boring :/ previously when m5 series was around, i thought plextor had all the potentials to become one of the best options here.

so far i think idealtech sells quite a number of them. smart choice.

yeah as i explained about this before, big capacity thumb drives simply are not up to the speed of a ssd + enclosure. it's relatively cheaper too with this combo.

for now, i just get some oem drives for this purpose. risky, but i don't have any issues with any of them yet.

Item 1: https://pcdiy.asus.com/2014/07/plextor-m-2-...etter-together/

Item 2: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/plexto...s-ssd,3763.html

Item 1 plug into an M.2 slot in a Z97 mobo is faster or
Item 2 plug into a PCIE slot in a Z97 mobo ?

they are the same ssd (pcie 2.0 x2). item 1 is the bare m.2 drive, while item 2 is the same drive mounted on a pcie adapter for compatibility reasons (so that it can be used in mobo's without m.2 slot)

in terms of speed, they are the same.

anyone know where can i get the Samsung XP941, and how must is it?

you can get it from ramcity.com.au. note that there is a 10% gst 'discount' for international buyers.

as for the price, it's slightly expensive (double of sata ssd's of the same capacity).

Awww dang it

i dont think the price is "slightly expensive" when it costs 2x of SATA SSD of equivalent capacity

but damn.... hope prices for SATA SSDs can come down faster abit...

Can, but our weak currency doesn't really help much...

You can always opt for 2X SSD as RAID 0, double capacity, double speed and double the risk

Oh crap i forgot to edit that part :/

Samsung announced its external ssd drive already. It's based on an usb 3.0 uasp with msata 840 evo (or 850 evo i didnt read clearly) hehe

This alternative guarantees work well also. Since we have more sata ports than we need hehe

i predicted the day when big space ssd cheaper is equals when 4k monitors become cheaper

my transcend ssd after fw update







the Plextor M6e BE
