mSATA
128GB
SATA III

The Plextor M5M is a high-performance mSATA 6 Gb/s SSD specifically engineered to give ultra book, tablet PC, and other JEDEC MO-300 form factor users the speed and low power consumption benefits of the newest generation SSD technology.

- Latest server-grade Marvell® 88SS9187 controller ensures fast and reliable operation for all applications.
- Sequential mode performance of up to 540MB/s read and up to 320MB/s write, boosts the responsiveness of ultra-thin laptop and tablet PCs.
- Random read speeds of up to 80K IOPS and write speeds up to 76K IOPS at 4K file size, give maximum real-world performance benefits.
- Advanced True Speed technology provides long-term sustained performance for all data types and prevents speed drop.

Plextor SSD has a unique True Protect protection system to protect the integrity of your data. To confirm that each piece of data is correctly stored with one hundred percent accuracy the newest 128-bit error correction code is used. For data confidentiality, the drive uses hardware in the US Government AES-validated Marvell controller to provide secure 256-bit full-drive encryption.

DATA INTEGRITY

The combination of the latest Marvell® 88SS9187 6Gb/s SATA controller’s powerful 128 Random Bit/2K BCH ECC (Error-Correction Codes), and the exclusive Plextor firmware based Robust Data Hold-out Algorithm gives the M5M unequaled data integrity.

ASE DATA ENCRYPTION

AES, the U.S. government standard encryption technology, is divided into three levels 128, 192, 256. The Plextor M5M uses the highest level of encryption-256 bits. This level of SSD encryption is highly secure compared to BIOS or software based encryption and offers strong protection if the computer is stolen.

Supports the SATA Device Sleep standard incorporating the new DEVSLP state allowing the SSD to communicate in sleep mode.
With the DEVSLP mode, the M5M can reduce the power consumption to only 1 mW, and resumes from DEVSLP mode only in 100ms.
In order to meet the needs of consumers, the M5M delivers an effective operating and long battery life of the mobile device.

	48hr Sustained Read and Write Test Two days continuous 4K file read/write test, zero error pass requirement.
	4000 Times Idle Test–Sleep and Hibernation Test After 24 hrs read & write SSD enters sleep (S3) mode and is woken after 5 minutes, repeated for hibernation (S4) mode, zero error pass requirement.
	250 Times Power Cycle–Cold and Warm Boot Tests Continuous cold boot and warm boot cycles 250 times, zero error pass requirement.

With its ultra mini size, light weight and low power consumption, the M5M is especially suitable for ultra-portable on-the-go computing device..
COMPACT SIZE
- No outer case. - Designed for the limited space in ultra-portable devices. - Highly compact JEDEC MO-300 form factor incorporating an mSATA 6GB/s connection. - Light weight (9g max.) and mini size (50.8 x 29.8 x 3.6 mm), only an eighth of the size of the standard 2.5 inch SSD drive.

Phild 5/10/2013 9:11:58 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great SSD Pros: Super fast High capacity Cheap Cons: None at all Other Thoughts: Bought this to slap into my Lenovo Y480 to run alongside of the 5400RPM drive. It made a world of a difference in boot up times and everything really. Installed Windows 8 and my main programs on it and am now using the hard drive for my games, media, and anything else that uses a lot of space. Definitly worth every penny!

N/A 4/10/2013 8:40:16 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Quality Pros: Great Performance Very Fast Quality Hardware Cons: None Other Thoughts: What sealed the deal for me with Plextor is the quality of hardware. This mSATA SSD not only uses the Marvell controller which is better than Sandforce, but it also uses Toshiba Nands. The Toshiba chips are faster and have a lower fail rate than most. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 3/30/2013 3:26:01 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: I installed this in a lenovo y500. I threw Windows 7 on this thing and it boots up in 12 - 13 seconds including post (which is amazingly fast on the y500) I have yet to test any games but I am sure this will blow load times away. Cons: None as of yet, will make new post if so. Other Thoughts: Using the new Marvell controller was a nice choice in this SSD, and is what pushed me to choose it. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
aj.proch 3/7/2013 5:31:17 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Solid state for a solid deal Pros: 128GB for just a little over a dollar a gig. Amazing read write speeds. Windows 7 Ultimate x64 boots in approx. 22 seconds including POST. Cons: If only it were bigger, but otherwise none at all Other Thoughts: If you plan on going SSD please take your time with installing and also grab a HDD to store the bulk of your data on. Do not installing the HDD until after you install your OS 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
