In its PCI Express form, we would pass on the M6e. We would be interested if it were sold as a standalone M.2 socket SSD at a more affordable price. For now, the M6S and M6M offer excellent performance and reliability, putting them among our most preferred SSD choices.
Plextor's M6M mSATA SSD isn't the cheapest you can buy at each capacity point, but its 256GB version kept up with many of the 2.5-inch SSDs we've tested of late. It's a fine boot-drive upgrade for an mSATA-capable mini-PC or ultrabook. Read...
