Plextor M6e 256GB M.2 PCIe SSD Review

Post by Apoptosis »

Are you wanting to get beyond 550MB/s without having to do a RAID setup? Are you willing to try a new interface? Meet the Plextor M6e Series of PCI Express SSDs! Plextor is leading the charge for native PCIe SSDs and has come up with the first readily-available M.2 PCIe SSD on the consumer market. Other drives like the Samsung XP941 series have been around much longer, but they are OEM only and aren’t really meant for end users. Plextor has stepped up to the plate with a drive that had end user firmware updates, an impressive 5-year warranty and mouth watering speeds.

windows 8.1 installation doesn't see the m.2 m6e on my Asus Z97i-Plus, with UEFI bios version 2103.

the UEFI bios tells me the m.2 slot is tempty.

there is no PCI Express and M.2 Bandwidth field anywhere in the UEFI

I don't have that board, but it is located in the UEFI on the ASUS Z97-A:

The ASUS Z97i-Plus shouldn't need anything disabled as it is just a x16 slot and the m.2 slot on the back in memory serves me correctly.
