SSD technology offers a remarkable new alternative to the traditional hard drive.
Solid State Drives have no moving parts making them extraordinarily resistant to mechanical breakdown,
temperature change, and shock. The military and aerospace industries use SSD technology because
of its stability and durability even under the most demanding conditions.
Solid State Drives are the new gold standard for performance. They are the drive of choice for power
users, serious gamers, system integrators, and other users who demand fault tolerant performance when
multiple system resources are in use.
Plextors M5 Solid State Drives are available in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB models. All models are
compatible with both notebooks and desktops. And since drives do not require space for storage disks,
all models retain the same slim and concise design measuring only 2.5 inches x .3 x 4.
Fast Just Got Faster
All of Plextors Solid State Drives feature the SATA 6Gb/s interface along with the industrys most
advanced Marvell Controller. Plextors SSD seek/read/write speeds now allow reading and transfer of
data many times faster than SSDs with SATA II interface.
Rock Solid Stability
With Plextors Instant Restore Technology, problems of slower performance often associated with
prolonged usage are virtually eliminated. In addition, Plextor supports Windows 7 TRIM out of the box.
This advanced garbage collection technique reorganizes data to maximize the number of free cells and
keep data transfer rate performance like new.
Maximizing SSD Life
Plextors 256MB DDR3 cache buffer helps stabilize the SSDreducing seek/read/write time of flash memory
and providing a quicker transfer rate and prolonging the product lifespan. Dynamic Wear Leveling
Technology averages out the write cycles on each cell which further increases SSD product lifespan
by reducing memory wipe-outs.
