Plextor M5M (256GB) mSATA Review
by Kristian Vättö on April 17, 2013 10:20 AM ESTAnandTech Storage Bench 2011—Light Workload
Our light workload actually has more write operations than read operations. The split is as follows: 372,630 reads and 459,709 writes. The relatively close read/write ratio does better mimic a typical light workload (although even lighter workloads would be far more read centric).
The I/O breakdown is similar to the heavy workload at small IOs, however you'll notice that there are far fewer large IO transfers:
| AnandTech Storage Bench 2011—Light Workload IO Breakdown | ||||
| IO Size | % of Total | |||
| 4KB | 27% | |||
| 16KB | 8% | |||
| 32KB | 6% | |||
| 64KB | 5% | |||
The story is similar in our Light suite, although the M5S is also able to beat the M5M by a slight difference this time.

Several large enterprise websites have used this methodology for years for numerous types of testing. This method does not give an accurate portrayal of latency performance. It merely gives one second intervals with thousands of IOPS each, which hides the maximum results in among thousands of other I/O.puppies - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - link
Spelling mistake in the 3rd line. Should be controlled not controller.Great article btw :D.

Fixed! Thanks for the heads up :-)iwodo - Thursday, April 18, 2013 - link
And we have to wait till Broadwell Chipset before we get SATA Express with ( hopefully ) 16Gbps.abhilashjain30 - Monday, July 29, 2013 - link
You can purchase online from SSD Portal ( http://onlyssd.com/ssd-brand/buy-plextor-ssd )abhilashjain30 - Thursday, September 26, 2013 - link
Recently buy from onlyssd dot com, I got within 2 working days from the order date. Drive working fine....I think in mSATA drive Plextor is better option compare to crucial n more.
