Plextor PX-128M3S 128 GB M3S SATA 6 GB/s 2.5-Inch Solid State DrivePlextor PX-128M3S 128 GB M3S SATA 6 GB/s 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive Product Description:
The Plextor 128GB M3S SATA 6Gb/s SSD provides read/write speeds up to 510/360 MB/s in sequential mode and up to 70,000/65,000 IOPS in random mode. The M3S is powered by True Speed which gives it the ability to deliver sustained high performance even after extended periods of continuous operation and years of intensive use. Performance specs of most SSDs are usually based on FOB (Fresh Out of the Box) products, which can result in overstated performance results. Plextor exceeds industry expectations by doing Enterprise Benchmark testing of consumer drives in a Dirty/Steady State to demonstrate sustained Read/Write performance. Each SSD drive is put through the rigors of a 20-hour high temperature burn-in test and strenuous simulations of real-world working environments. This type of testing gives a more realistic perspective of everyday performance. As a result Plextor SSDs have a 0.5% average annual failure rate, which is one of the lowest in the industry. True Speed maintains an extra
- True Speed - an exclusive technology providing consistent high performance in real-life computing environments for the lifetime of the product. Unlike the competition, Plextor SSDs sustain read/write speeds for the life of the drive.
- Server-grade Marvell 88SS9174 controller chip for read/write speeds of up to 510MB/s and 360MB/s in sequential mode, and 70,000 and 65,000 IOPS for random read/write operations at 4K file size
- The M3S fully supports SATA 6Gb/s and is backward compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 1.5Gb/s
- The DDR3 DRAM cache transfers data faster and helps extend lifetime of the product
- The latest synchronous MLC NAND flash modules from Toshiba further enhance product reliability
- Five-year ironclad warranty provides reassurance of Plextor quality standards
- Smart firmware combines three advanced technologies to sustain performance: Bad Block Management, Global Wear Leveling, and Instant Restore. Bad Block Management and Global Wear Leveling optimize the way data is written on the drive and Instant Restore is a technique that overcomes the problem of declining speed after prolonged usage
- The M3S supports advanced functions such as S.M.A.R.T. failure prediction, the TRIM command, NCQ optimization, and superior Garbage Collection to further increase performance and reliability
