Plextor PX-512M3

1. lower power consumption when compared to other 512GB SSD's ; 2. great performance including with incompressible data ; 3. excellent customer support

1. price (no eggs deducted) ; Plextor SSD's are more expensive but their performance is great. In particular, they excel at incompressible data. Most SandForce SSD's have a weakness where incompressible data slows them down. This and the other Plextor...

if you're educated on ssds, then you'd know that plextor's best thing is long term performance, top speeds are attainable only on a fresh drive, in the real world, your drive is not fresh anymore after you install os on it

it's not the latest and greatest

Easy to install in my desktop with 3.5in dongle. Includes free, simple back-up and cloning software. Write speeds are within 50-100 mbps of advertised after 1.04 firmware flash (simple process)

None so far

Speed, while not up there with Sandforce was impressive. Capacity. No need to install any programs on a secondary mechanical drive. Compatability. Windows 7 recognized the drive and installed without a hitch

Price. No reason to take away an egg. Quality costs

I own the 256GB version of this drive. It is FAST. Really fast. Stable. Paired with a Gigabyte GA-Z77MX-D3H motherboard that supports SATA III (6.0GB/s). Drive performs well over time due to automatic garbage collection routines that are second only to...

People who have NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING are posting reviews on NewEgg. That "swalsh2333" person really needs to do his/her homework before coming over and giving a 1 star review on a product. This drive does indeed give advertised speeds and...

Dude, your MBP is sata II. 3 gps transfer. The specs you complain about not reaching are for sata III capable equipment. Your apple is not

I have this and the plextor 256g ssd. Both work great

The drive specs are not derived but are determined in real time. Not every benchmarking utility out there runs tests the same way. In Windows, it's always best to look at results on several softwares. On a Mac, that's harder to do because for...

Is there a list of "Apple certified" SSDs? Easier said than done, right

Maybe you'll get the advertised speeds if you don't own a Mac

I posted my last review when I was somewhat happy but the speeds were lacking. I called Plextor to see if something was wrong with the drive. After I told them that I have a Mac they informed me that I would not get the advertised speeds. They sent me...
