Review on Plextor M8Pe 256GB PCIe NVMe Internal SSDDrive with Heatsink (PX-256M8PeY) by Michael Radhakrishnan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Flawless NVMe M.2 storage, great value, easy setup.

The M9 series comes with 3D NAND so maybe hold your money or wait for the price to drop. I haven't noticed any problems with throttling so far. Mine is also located right under the graphics card of my MSI B350M Gaming Pro, which I think adds a ton of extra heat. But the rest of the disc is just fantastic. UEFI recognized it immediately and I was able to install Windows on it in minutes. Large installations are easy. NVMe is definitely superior to SATA III. From UEFI screen to Windows login in about 3 seconds. While not EVO it's a great product and looks great (if your board will allow it).

Pros
  • Like all before
Cons
  • Some troubles
