Plextor Showing M6 Pro 6Gb SATA SSD and M.2 SATA SSD Family

Plextor, a brand owned by Shinano Kenshi of Japan, announces the launch of M6 Pro and PlexTurbo at Computex 2014.

The show also marked the debut of other new consumer SSDs from Plextor who showcaseed their IPC and enterprise ranges.

Debuting at Computex is the high-performance M6 Pro SATA SSD. With hardware operating at the maximum 6Gb/s throughput limit of the SATA interface, the M6 Pro sets new standards for reliability, stability, and performance. With guaranteed stability, it is the first consumer SSD from Plextor to pass its new enterprise-grade Zero Error standard of 400 units surviving 1,008 hours (up from 500 hours). The introduction of DEVSLP mode reduces power consumption.

PlexTurbo is an intelligent SSD caching software which uses a combination of system RAM, the SSD DRAM cache, and SSD storage. It delivers additional storage speed for real-world applications, intelligently extends flash life, and prevents data loss if power is interrupted. By taking a more intelligent approach to RAM caching, the PlexTurbo is able to outperform competing software whist minimizing RAM use. PlexTurbo will initially only be available with the M6 Pro.

Live demos showed the stability and performance of latest M6 generation of products. Attendees experienced the performance and advantages of the new M6 Pro with PlexTurbo. They also saw the power of the M6e in HHHL and M.2 form factors. This SSD has already won awards by bypassing the limitations of SATA to deliver stable RAID-like performance using cutting-edge components and the PCIe interface.

Along with the high-performance M6 Pro, and fast M6e M.2 PCIe Gen2 x2 SSD, Plextor also will launch a M.2 SATA SSD family, the M6G-2280, M6G-2260, and M6G-2242. On the stand was also the entry level M6S, the gaming focused M6e HHHL PCIe, and a demo showing the stability of the recently launched M6M in RAID-0.

Complementing Plextor’s consumer SSDs was a display of its enterprise, industrial, and specialized mobile storage devices. Engineered for data center and server storage applications are Plexto enterprise SSDs which deliver IO/s performance with low latency command response. End-to-end data path protection, over-provisioning and power-loss data protection make these enterprise SSDs for critical tasks.

The latest generation of Plextor’s industrial PC range of products, including power-loss data protection/wide temperature SSDs, were at the show.

Attendees looking to tap in to Plextor’s specialist storage knowledge for mobile products saw eMMC devices along with M.2 PCIe, M.2 SATA, and mSATA SSDs.

“We’re pulling out all the stops for Computex this year. Not only are we launching the M6 Pro with PlexTurbo, but we’ve got excellent product offerings for every segment of the consumer market and advanced products that meet the specific needs of enterprise and IPC markets,” said sales manager Lear Wu.
