SharetweetHDTUNEHD Tune is a Hard Disk Utility with many functions from error checking, health testing (S.M.A.R.T.), and of course benchmarking. To build upon our real world write test we also looked to see where the write speeds leveled off to by using...
Plextor's latest NVMe SSD delivers big time on looks and price, while still providing adequate NVMe performance with read speeds three times as fast as SATA, and write times twice as fast except during exceptionally large data transfers.
Toshiba will be doing well with their new 64-layer Vertically stacked NAND, and the add-in partners benefit from that. The Plextor M9Pe series will offer great performance at an acceptable price level. For many TLC is a bit of a dirty word endurance...
The past year has seen almost all remaining SSD product lines with MLC NAND switch to 64-layer 3D TLC NAND. This is the only significant hardware change the Plextor M9Pe brings over its predecessor, along with updates to the NVMe 1.3 standard in its...
M9Pe Series SSD gives us a satisfactory result no matter it is reading and writing sequential data or 4K data. In other words, it means that you could enjoy HD movies or play 4K video games seamlessly (and faster than many of the other SSDs)! I...

The M9Pe isn't the fastest NVMe SSD out there, but it's certainly a match for the Intel 760p, and it's superior when writing large files. The M9Pe is also one of the most attractive when a heat sink is in play, and super-affordable compared to anything...
The M9Pe 1TB is the best from the series. Overall, we prefer the M9PeG M.2 version with an aluminum heatsink for general use. The add-in card is nice, but it populates a PCIe slot. The low-cost option has a nice entry-level price but delivers solid performance for light workloads.
The Plextor M9Pe series comes to market as we're crawling out of the worst NAND shortage in history. The flash shortage spurred the SSD price increases, but as supply returns, it's the component that will take us to the first SSD oversupply in nearly...
