We test with both random read and write 4k tests, as shown above. There are many ways to measure the IOPS performance of a Solid State Drive, so our results will often vary between the manufacturer’s quoted ratings.

Plextor's own tests rate random 4k IOPS performance at 100,000 random read and 86,000 random write. Our own results are very close, hitting 98,410 read and 87,266 write.

  1. How does the faked ~4000MB/sec speed actually compare to a 4000MB/sec PCIe NVMe drive?

    Why wouldn’t you not use the turbo mode all of the time, and then wipe out the competition?

  2. Show me an NVMe SSD that uses more than 4 lanes (32Gbit)
    Havent seen any yet.

  3. I’d be interested to see plexturbo run on an X99 with quad channel DDR4…cough.

  4. That 4000MB/s is not the actual speed of the M6 Pro. It’s the system’s memory. Meanwhile the speeds in PCIE based SSD’s are really their raw performance speed. Here’s another review: http://thepcenthusiast.com/plextor-m6-pro-ssd-256gb-review/
