I do not think this SSD can perform 300 GB/sec. :cheers:

haha, fixed 🤓

Very nice review, as usual...(Although feel free to edit "Vista" out of your review modules as the reference is now getting just a bit long in the tooth... 🤓) I noticed that the AS SSD bench version you're using is an older one (new one is 1.8.xxxx.xxxxx), but the compression bench for my EVO 850 256GB drive was surprisingly much faster than the Plextor in this test...write-compression speeds for the EVO hovered around the 459MB/s mark, whereas your Plextor shows write compression @ ~340MB/s mark. (Read speeds were a tie, here.) The difference of roughly 120MB/s slower (than the EVO) holds in the regular sequential-write benchmark, too. I'm wondering if the EVO actually writes that much faster, or whether this is just an artifact of the newer AS SSD benchmark version....(My EVO is running on the AMD 970a core-logic with the 9/2014 1.3.1.245 AMD SATA drivers in AHCI mode...on the SB950 chipset that supports RAID 0, RAID1, RAID5 and RAID 10) I'm also wondering why the EVO is warrantied for 5 years & the Plextor for 3...a result of lower longevity expectations, or a difference in estimated cycle calculations? Opinions?
