Plextor PX-256M2P 256GB Solid State Drive Review @ CDRLabs.com

If the PX-256M2P is any indication, Plextor is looking to be a serious
contender in the SSD market. Targeted at power users and gamers, this
limited edition SSD combines Marvell's 88SS9174 controller with Toshiba's
Toggle Mode NAND flash. Add in 512MB of on-board cache and Plextor's
exclusive True Speed technology and you have a drive capable of some pretty
impressive performance. In our sequential read and write tests, the
PX-256M2P was able to read at speeds as high as 506 MB/s and write at speeds
in excess of 400 MB/s. These numbers aren't as high as what we've seen with
some of the newer SandForce-based drives. However, the PX-256M2P performs
equally well with compressible and incompressible data and, thanks to True
Speed, is able to sustain these speeds, even after intensive use.
