Power Consumption
Generally speaking Marvell SSDs do quite well in power consumption tests, so I was interested to see if Corsair is able to beat Plextor's M3, given that Plextor uses a custom firmware whereas Corsair does not.
Idle power consumption is identical to Plextor's M3 and they are both the most power efficient drives at idle of what we have tested.
The Performance Pro is also the most power efficient non-SF drive in sequential writes.
All in all, the Performance Pro is extremely power efficient and is overall definitely one of the most efficient drives we have tested. It would certainly make a good fit for a laptop drive.

What about write amplification and the longevity of the drive? I thought that would be a hot topic given the aggressive garbage collection! AT is about the only site where such a thing would even be addressed, so I'm sorry there's no discussion here.
