    Thanks, it is looking rosy for my Evo at the moment, but only more time can truly tell, but it's lasting out a lot longer than before, no slow downs yet, I'll be sure to post back here with an update in a month or two.

    The OP (codeco25) he responded to doesn't have either of those: 2.5" SATA3 bay available.

    How does it even compare to the SanDisk Extreme Pro? How does it even compare to the OP's price range?

    See:
    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produc...b0tCA-_-Solid+State+Disk-_-Plextor-_-20249046

    That is the 'non-black' version and it is ~$260CDN today. OP has ~$100 budget.

    And it is not faster than any SATA drive right now. The SanDisk Extreme Pro in the same review rules in any real world benchmark that matters.

    If we're going after bm 'scores', granted the Plextor is very slightly ahead (in sequential reads mostly).

    But I'm sure codeco25 is not worried about high scores per se. Real world performance is always the bottom line.

    Plextors are excellent SSDs: they are just 1 step from Top-notch SSDs but also 1-2 steps from their price too.
    For some reason just 1 step in USA ans 2 steps in Eastern Europe where its price almost same as for Crucials.
    P.S. I have Plextor M5-Pro Xtreme.

    Just was checking that Extreme pro .. or maybe it is older one? than than M6S and M6M?
    Yeah I think you have same as me but in 2.5'' .. mine is M5M
    I have another one M5M and I have purchased 2xM6M but LiteON IT which is same as plextor..
    Once I purchase MSi GS70 2QE (maybe) , I will be making Quad-RAID 0
    Will be getting speed around 1.5G

    For an OS drive, high performance SATA SSDs are better performing than PCIe x2. Those high sequential numbers are fairly meaningless for an OS drive.

    http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/6906/samsung-850-pro-256gb-three-drive-ssd-raid-report/index3.html

    "The performance disparity only gets worse for (non-NVMe) consumer based PCIe drives in a workload environment where read/writes are occurring concurrently, because they simply do not have good low QD random performance. In most cases, current consumer based PCIe drives cannot even outperform a single hyper-class SATA based SSD in an OS environment."
