Touting impressive credentials and longevity on paper, performance falls in line with the Crucial M500 and a little below the hynix SH910A we have tested previously.
Available in a wide range of capacities and backed by a super-strict testing regime along with the industry's lowest return rate, Plextor positions the M6 Pro 256GB, priced at £120, as the drive for the enthusiast.
Though solid on all fronts, aggressive pricing from rivals such as Crucial obscures the value metric - performance-equivalent drives are available for sub-£90 - so whether the premium is worth it depends upon what value you place on Plextor's quality control and five-year warranty.
In a market littered with good SSDs, the Plextor M6 Pro becomes another to add to that ever-growing shortlist.
