Harken to the inside track of Plextor’s latest 2.5-inch SSD, which beats previous offerings with three belongings you can’t complain about: a discount, a modest spec bump and an additional two annums beyond the same old three-year warranty. The M3S employs SATA III and a Marvell controller to deliver speeds of 525MB/s and 445MB/s for sequential reads and writes, and 70,000 and 65,000 IOPS for random reads and writes. The bottom 128GB capacity will sell for $200 from the top of this month, alongside a 256GB variant for $350 and — from early next year — 512GB for $700. The company’s proprietary True Speed software is additionally in attendance, which claims to maintain “like-new” rapidity whilst the drive fills up with fragmented data. You will see that further specs within the PR after the break, but alas it has not one of the third-person narrative flair we saw last time .
