Plextor M5 Pro (256GB) Review
 

Plextor has been making steady progress in becoming a real player in the SSD market. As we saw with the M3 Pro, they have a firmware team capable of delivering top notch performance. The M3 Pro was easily the fastest Marvell 88SS9174 based SSD and overall it was one of the fastest SATA 6Gbps SSDs we ever tested. Plextor is also serious about quality and based on our experience and NewEgg reviews, their SSDs enjoy a good reputation with few issues.

Today we are looking at the successor of M3 Pro: the M5 Pro. Plextor is the first SSD manufacturer to use Marvell's new 88SS9187 controller, which is paired with Toshiba's brand new 19nm Toggle-Mode MLC NAND. We have been eagerly anticipated the M5 Pro ever since we first heard of it. Plextor did an awesome job with Marvell's 9174, but eventually you will need a faster controller to improve performance, and that's what the M5 Pro is all about. Read on to find out what the M5 Pro has to offer!
