As one of the biggest names in the storage industry, Plextor doesn't need much of an introduction. For more than a decade, they've produced some of the best optical drives the industry has seen. Known the world over for their quality, performance, and features, these drives have become favorites among consumers and professionals alike. Today, Plextor continues to lead the way by bringing cutting edge storage technologies to market. Along with a vast assortment of high-performance DVD and Blu-ray drives, the company offers a growing number of NAS devices, external hard drives and solid state drives.
Today we are going to take a look at Plextor's latest Solid State Drive - the PX-256M3P 256GB. This SSD is equipped with 512MB of onboard cache and is capable of delivering up to 540MB/s sequential read and 420MB/s sequential write speeds as well as up to 75,000 random read and 68,000 random write IOPS. Like the PX-256M2P and PX-256M3S, the PX-256M3P SSD is based on Marvel's 88SS9174 controller chip. While not as popular as some of the newer SandForce controllers, the 88SS9174 does have one major advantage in that it performs equally well with both incompressible (0%) and compressible (100%) data.
When tested with ATTO, the Plextor's PX-256M3P SSD read speeds topped out at about 535 MB/s and its write speeds at 425 MB/s. The PX-256M3P performed surprisingly well when doing random reads and writes. In our tests, the drive was able to write at 217.74 MB/s and read at a blazing 146.55 MB/s. This wasn't enough to top the SandForce-based drives when doing random writes with highly compressible, repeating data. However, the PX-256M3P was more than 40 MB/s faster than the SanDisk Extreme and Patriot Pyro SE when writing random data. Source
