The Plextor M3 (256GB) Review
by Kristian Vättö on April 5, 2012 3:05 AM ESTAS-SSD Incompressible Sequential Performance
The AS-SSD sequential benchmark uses incompressible data for all of its transfers. The result is a pretty big reduction in sequential write speed on SandForce based controllers, while other drives continue to work at roughly the same speed as with compressible data.
Plextor M3 does well in incompressible sequential speeds as well. Its incompressible sequential read speed is average in our chart, but the difference between most SATA 6Gbps SSDs is only a few percent—nobody is significantly faster here. Incompressible sequential write speed is the best we've seen on a Marvell based SSD, but the Samsung SSD 830 and OCZ Octane retain their crowns.

And you write pretty well considering your experience.This Guy - Thursday, April 5, 2012 - link
Agreed. You don't have a qurky style yet that screams out you wrote a piece, but this is a tech site so that's a good thing.You do a bloody good job, 18 or not. I haven't read many pieces by people as young that are at your level. You come off as a pro.

what "ImSpartacus" and "This Guy" said, good job Kristian!Sabresiberian - Saturday, April 7, 2012 - link
I agree, Kristian is doing a very nice job.I say all the time maturity and age aren't necessarily related, and Kristian is one more example of what I'm talking about.
The saddest thing about our society (in America and the rest of the "First World") is that the level of maturity has gone down, even though the actually average age in years has gone up. I quit a World of Warcraft guild a while back because of the lack of maturity - in the 30-something and older crowd, not the teenagers.

As if that matters. Let me know when you start thinking in terms of decades instead of months. :)A5 - Thursday, April 5, 2012 - link

Wow...I am 14 and I would kill for that job :PBut in all seriousness, I would never have known that you were 18, you should go tell whoever taught you to write that they did a good job.
