Plextor Unleashed!!

Plextor; a company known for manufaturing optical disc recorders, has announced that it is about to storm the UK with a range of fast, long life stable solid state disks (SSDs), its first of SSD units. Plextor say’s the M2S series SSDs have SATA III 6Gb/sec interfaces and come in a range of three capacities - 64GB, 128GB and 256GB. The long life, in Plextor's view, is 10 years, which I would like to assume is pretty long, and Plextor added that the SSDs' performance won’t degrade over time.

Although this does suggest that suddenly after 10 years the unit will simply cease to function, Plextor say’s it is unlikely. The three SSDs have read speeds of up to 480MB/sec and write speeds of up to 330MB/sec, on the biggest unit, and according to Plextor have performed well in benchmark tests. Plextor claims it performed so well that the M2S series are the fastest on the market. They are 2.5 inches in size and offer instant restore technology which is designed to improve stability, a 128GB DDR3 cache for improved data transfer speeds, Acronis True Image software for easy data migration, Windows data wiping tools, a server grade Marvell 88SS9174 control chip, which is the industry's most advanced, giving the unit an edge, and a three-year warranty.  The units, and pricing information, will be released in the UK in March.  U.S releases haven’t been posted yet but my interest is peaked and will remain monitoring its process as I hope you do as well.
