Combined with Plextor's own firmware, the M5 Pro will break new performance records, featuring a sustained random read / write speed up to 94,000 / 86,000 IOPS as well as continuous read/write speeds up to 540/450 MB/s. The M5 Pro is expected to be available in capacities of 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.

The M5 Pro is designed and engineered with prosumers, businesses, and small/medium enterprises in mind, making use of the new multi-core Marvell controller to handle extreme high loads. This makes the M5 Pro suitable for use in a heavy workstation, server role, or Raid 0 configuration setting. In line with the needs of its users, the M5 Pro will incorporate a unique data protection technology in its firmware. The M5 Pro will also feature its renowned True Speed Technology to prevent the drastic performance drop seen in some SSDs after intense or long-term usage.

Each M5 Pro SSD will be backed by an industry leading five-year warranty and Plextor's extensive international support infrastructure.

The M5 Pro Series is expected to be available in Europe in Q3 September. More details on the features and pricing of M5 Pro will be announced at a later stage.
