Abstract: Plextor’s recent history is an inspiring example of how a clever marketing and engineering strategy can help a firm which only has access to assembly manufacture to quickly rise to the top tier of makers of consumer-class solid state drives. Of course,...
Tieing up a 24-page roundup in a few lines isn’t easy, especially as the cost of flash memory is currently dropping, meaning that the price of 120 to 128 GB SSDs is changing almost daily, with some manufacturers responding faster than others. Pricing i...
Let's be frank: I'm surprised. When I first got the Plextor M3, I wasn't expecting much from it. A Marvell based SSD from a smaller, somewhat unknown SSD brand is not too promising. If this had been a SandForce based SSD, then we all know what the perform...

Strong performance. Affordable (by the standards of solid-state drives). Includes five-year warranty.
Somewhat inconsistent on intensive tasks
An outstanding value and a good performer, the Plextor PX-256M3 compares favorably with more expensive solid-state drives (SSDs) from more established storage companies....
The 2.5-inch Plextor M3 solid-state drive (SSD) supports SATA 3 (6Gbps) and helps improve the overall performance of the host computer a great deal. The drive is also comparatively affordable, and comes with a drive bay adapter to also fit in any desktop
The Plextor M3's performance is slightly slower than some of its peers
With good performance and friendly pricing, the Plextor M3 makes a great replacement drive for any laptop or desktop computers.
