The Plextor PX-256M8SeGN is the 256 GB model of Plextor’s NVMe-M.2 series M8SeGN. This memory size is one of the most popular, as it is priced within an acceptable range for most people. As an NVMe-M.2 SSD, it also offers significantly higher speeds than an outdated HDD and also easily depends on SATA SSDs. Here Plextor promises a sequential reading speed of up to 2,400 MB/s and a sequential writing speed of up to 1,000 MB/s. Whether the SSD really delivers this performance and is worth the purchase, we clarify for you in our test.
The used Marvell 88SS1093 controller is the first SSD controller from Marvell with NVMe- and PCI Express 3.0. It was presented at the CES 2015 with a data rate of about 2.9 GB/s. For the 2,400 MB/s of the Plextor M8SeGN, it is therefore ideally suited. With a TBW (Total Bytes Written) of 160 TB, the SSD is in the mid-range of durability, which is more than enough for most. Over a period of 10 years, you could write more than 43 GB on the SSD every day – by then we’ll certainly have completely different speeds and a new purchase is pending. Plextor uses 15nm TLC NAND from Toshiba.
Before starting our test we updated the firmware to the current version 1.02.

Crystal DiskMark has been set to 9 passes with 50 MB blocks. The test data are randomly generated by the program and are therefore very practical. However, the tool only outputs the maximum data rate reached.
With ATTO Disk Benchmark you can easily find out how the SSD handles different file sizes. The test run of the SSD is very typical, with small files the speed decreases. However, the SSD is also significantly faster there than the usual SATA SSDs. This is due to the higher IOPS.

Conclusion
Basically, the Plextor M8SeGN offers a speed that will be more than sufficient for most users. The model’s speed is in midfield, but even between the much slower SATA SSDs and the latest fastest NVMe-M.2 SSDs, most users won’t notice a noticeable difference.
Despite the missing heatspreader, the temperatures of the M8SeGN are not alarming, but if you have one on your motherboard, you may be able to extend its life a bit due to the lower temperatures. In general, however, the Toshiba 15nm TLC NAND does not produce too much waste heat.
It is a pity that Plextor, with its pricing policy for the model, is not yet competitive in Germany. Those who offer less performance than the competition should also call a low price. However, this is not currently the case. However, the availability of the model can generally be described as very poor. While the PX-256M8SeGN was still available from Amazon during the test, this is no longer the case. Also other German dealers do not list the SSD.
If you are looking for an SSD for the next 5 to 10 years, you can consider the M8SeGN, but you should definitely compare the prices.
