The Plextor M6 PRO is a premium professional grade SSD that combines high-performance hardware with PlexTurbo, the newly developed intelligent SSD caching software that delivers speeds far beyond the limits of the SATA III interface. By combining the best performing components from top suppliers with Plextor's own exclusive firmware, advanced manufacturing techniques, and expert knowledge, Plextor has developed an uncompromising drive. For gamers, computer creatives, and other demanding users, the Plextor M6 PRO sets the gold standard for storage performance, reliability, and stability.

- Using a new generation of A19 nm Toshiba toggle NAND flash, a generous on-board cache, and the latest Marvell multi-core controller, the Plextor M6 PRO is able to take hardware performance to the practical maximum and provide ultra-stable performance at 6 Gb/s.
- Sustained sequential mode read performance up to 545 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 490 MB/s.
- Real-world random read speeds reach a maximum of 100K IOPS and up to 88K IOPS for random writes.
- Speeds using exclusive PlexTurbo were up to ten times faster during testing.
Actual performance may vary based on hardware, software and overall system configuration.

PlexTurbo.

Plextor's latest SSD RAM caching solution breaking the SATA barrier with three main features: Performance Boost, Safe Power Loss, and Life Extension Mechanism.

TrueSpeed.

Plextor TrueSpeed Technology keeps long-term SSD performance at like-new speeds after periods of use and when the M6 PRO is nearly full.

TrueProtect.

Plextor's exclusive TrueProtect system provides both 256-bit AES full-drive encryption and advanced multi-layer error checking for full data protection.

DEVSLP mode.

With the introduction of DEVSLP mode, the M6 PRO is now able to reduce power consumption by going into an ultra-low power sleep mode that needs almost no power, but which supports a very rapid wake up.
