Abstract: With the M8Pe M.2 NVMe SSD ($279.99 for 512GB), Plextor is throwing its hat into the high-end solid-state drive ring. And if you couldn't tell by the red-and-black color scheme, Plextor is also looking to lure gamers away from Samsung's successful 960 Pro...

The M8Pe is a worthy competitor to OCZ's RD400, and quite a bit cheaper than the Intel 750—a very good product, in other words. And it's the sexiest-looking PCIe card SSD out there, if that means anything to you...

PCI-Express SSDs are still quite expensive, but they also perform significantly better than SATA600 SSDs. A few years ago the additional price you paid for a high-end SSD barely gave you better performance due to the SATA600-bottleneck, but now the differ...
Solid value, Top-notch read speeds, Useful form factor, High build quality
Divisive look, Middling write speeds
Yes, if you have an older PC you're looking to spruce up with even faster storage. Popular chips like the Core i7-4790K still power impressive gaming rigs, but their motherboards lack the M.2 slots needed for the very latest drive. The Plextor M8Pe is an...
Good performance, Great price, Beautiful design, Latest generation NVMe and PCIe interface,
Not the fastest NVMe tested, but still very impressive, Neutral, LED Lighting, “Plextor’s M8PeY PCIe NVMe SSD will not only give your system a great performance boost, it will also give it a great look thanks to the design. Simply a beautiful drive from s
We never did see the Plextor M7P drive and while I was saddened by that, there was a reason for it. Plextor/Lite-On weren't satisfied with the drive at the time and instead of releasing a possibly inferior product, they scraped it and went back to the dra...
PCIe 3.0 x4 interface with NVMe protocol, Equipped with Toshiba Toggle MLC NAND, Available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB capacities, Good sequential and random read and write performance, M.2 2280 and HHHL PCIe form factors, Supports TrueSpeed and TruePr
Garbage collection problem limits maximum write speed, Not supported by Plextor's PlexTool software, Does not support hardware based encryption
By now, I've spent a lot of time with the Plextor M8Pe and, despite some of the issues I've had, I can't help but to like the drive. This gamer-oriented, PCIe SSD offers good performance, a bold, eye catching design and a massive heatsink to keep it cool...
Excellent overall performance, in a big-picture sense, Great styling for PC desktop modders, upgraders, Reasonably affordable
Slower than Samsung's SSD 960 lineup, E-sports branding is just fluff, No software
The M8Pe is a fast M.2 PCI Express SSD with next-gen technology at a decent price. It isn't quite as fast as some new Samsung drives, though, which means it needs a price drop. Read More...

The Plextor M8Pe cannot keep up with Samsung's 960 Pro, but otherwise it is a solid contender in the PCIe SSD space. Its overall performance is near the Samsung 960 EVO and the Toshiba OCZ RD400. All of them offer better real-world performance than Intel'...
2GBps reads, 1GBps writes, Sylish heatsink and activity lights
TBW rating of the 1TB model is slightly low
The M8Pe is a worthy competitor to OCZ's RD400, and quite a bit cheaper than the Intel 750—a very good product, in other words. And it's the sexiest-looking PCIe card SSD out there, if that means anything to you. To comment on this article and othe...
