  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

    SATA III

    Modern hard drive connection standard.

    The majority of SSD hard drives use this standard. The motherboard must support it for the disk to operate at its maximum potential.

  • Write Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

    For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Form Factor

The term form factor refers to the physical size of SSDs. The motherboard must support the form factor of the SSD in order for it to be installed.


The higher speeds offered by an NVMe drive are mainly applicable to demanding applications (such as high-definition video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and are not necessary for everyday use.

2.5''
The most classic size of SATA SSD hard drive.

HDD hard drives in laptops are of this size, so upgrading with an SSD is the right choice.

Read Speed

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable. 
Write Speed

Write Speed

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.
Maximum 4KB Random Write
71000 IOPS

Maximum 4KB Random Write

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk in data recording during general use, for example (opening the computer/using applications). The larger the size, the faster it is in these functions.

Average read speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 80,000 IOPS, while for one with NVMe it is 380,000 IOPS.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

    They brought them to us for our work PCs, this particular one went into my personal, professional PC....... It works exceptionally well. I've only had it for 2 weeks and I don't have a further opinion on reliability, but it is fast. Maybe 1 click less than the Samsung evo I have at home, but it still makes me work faster.
    I didn't expect it.
    I hope it proves to be reliable as well.

    I bought it new and it didn't last even 1 month. It suddenly stopped working without any warning.
    They replaced it with a new one, on which I tried to do a firmware update from 1.03 to 1.04 from the official website, during which my PC crashed and showed a BSOD (on a fresh installation of Windows 7 SP1 with a genuine DVD from Microsoft).
    And as if all that wasn't enough, the support from Plextor was terrible.
    In my attempt to contact them through online chat, I never received a response.
    Not even a simple "Thank you for your comment, we will look into it."
    In terms of speed, it's okay, more or less average.
    Truly a waste of money, definitely choose something else.
