@ 2011/03/24Despite their success in the storage industry, Plextor's initial SSD
offerings did not go over as well as many expected. The performance of the
PX-M1 series was average at best and the garbage collection technology was a
poor substitute for TRIM. Plextor has apparently taken these criticisms to
heart as the PX-128M2S is an entirely different beast. Thanks to its Marvell
88SS9174 controller and SATA 6Gb/s interface, the drive performed very well
in our sequential read and write tests, reading at speeds as high as 393
MB/s and writing at speeds in excess of 200 MB/s.
