Plextor has announced that its SSD product, the Plextor M5 Pro, took the Hardware.Info UK Award 2013 for best SSD. Plextor beat off Samsung in this award that is based on reader votes. According to the company, “winning not only shows the excellent reputation of the M5 Pro, but also the growth in Plextor brand awareness.”
Throughout the world, the company’s SSDs are continuing to gain awards as reviewers praise their stability, performance, and value for money.
For instance, the M5 Pro Xtreme collected no less than 13 awards in the last three months of 2013, bringing the grand total for the SSD to 86. From Israel to Portugal, the UK to Poland, the M5 Pro’s constantly updated firmware kept it winning awards as 2013 finished. Among the review comments was “Outstanding price/performance combination” from Test Praktiker Germany, “Results of the different benchmarks show that the Plextor claimed specifications are true, SSD IOPS is also incredibly high” from Hardware-Test Denmark, and “Excellent all round performance” from Skratchwiz PC UK.
Meanwhile, in the last quarter of 2013, the M5M was also awarded in Hardware-Mag Germany, Twaekers BeNeLux, given an Extreme Performance award by Overclockear Spain, and won HW Legend’s “Italy’s Gold” award. HW Legend put the M5M through some testing and found “high performance in every area”, combined with “good operational stability”. It was also impressed with the “great official support by the manufacturer”. Overclockear Spain went as far as saying that there was nothing that could be improved on.
In Europe, Scandinavia, and Asia, the M5S added to its list of awards. This SSD retains Plextor’s high build quality and offers superb read performance. FranzPC Poland selected the M5S over the OCZ and Samsung for reliability. Norwegian site IT Pro described it as “a product we would warmly recommend.”
