FAQ

The Plextor M8Pe 1Tb is DRAMless SSD or data about it is not known. Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) in their controller help to improve input/output performance and endurance.

The M8Pe 1Tb due to the low density of memory chips can work with no additional heat sinks. Some motherboards or laptops from the factory has thermal pads below or above the SSD for improving productivity during heavy loads.

The Plextor M8Pe has write speed 1400 Mb per second, read speed 2500 Mbps. NVMe works on Marvell 88SS1093 controller and M.2 or PCIe 3.0 x 4 high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard. The NAND flash memory type is Toshiba MLC.
