Plextor, a developer of digital storage technology, announced that it will launch exclusive new software solutions, PlexVault (data security technology), PlexCompressor (intelligent compression technology) and the third generation of its intelligent caching technology, PlexTurbo. These new solutions are expected to be available this August.
PlexVault helps create user-defined hotkeys for more privacy and full control of the local drives. Once PlexVault is activated, the hidden data cannot be found by device manager, file explorer, or even disk management utilities. In addition to hotkeys, PlexVault also provides password protection as a second security feature. Users can store and hide personal data securely with PlexVault technology, even on a shared computer, as long as the computer is equipped with a Plextor SSD.
With the new PlexCompressor intelligent compression software, gamers can extract more storage space out of their existing SSDs. Once activated, this technology increases SSD capacity in the background by automatically compressing unused files. The compression and decompression of data is completed without affecting user experience and performance.
The third generation of Plexturbo has three new features, including ‘Pre-Load’, ‘Cache Sharing’, and ‘User Defined Cache’ in addition to the features found in previous generations. After the computer turns on, PlexTurbo begins tracking the data used, and automatically pre-loads the process files executed prior to the last shutdown during the next boot-up. This process decreases the time needed to read the data and saves the user a long wait for programs to execute. PlexTurbo can also now support multiple volumes simultaneously no matter how many Plextor SSDs are running at the same time and regardless of whether they are connected via PCIe or SATA interface. PlexTurbo’s “automatic load balancing” can also speed up SSD processing and extends the life-cycles for all Plextor SSDs. Lastly, the third-generation of PlexTurbo allows users to configure the cache capacity and cache clearing time, increasing user convenience.
