It has to be a bit frustrating to write a review whose entire conclusion could change at the drop of a hat... err, a price.

128 GB -> 119.2 GiB
256 GB -> 238.4 GiB
512 GB -> 476.8 GiB

These are just calculations. Please correct me if the actual drive capacities are different.

Plextor has always positioned itself as a high quality/price product line. I remember when they were called TEXEL and were competing with Toshiba for the fastest CD-ROM. They never sold on price always quality and performance. Their quality maybe good but their performance doesn't really standout to justify the higher price in this product segment. They don't have the same advantages as they did from making CD-ROMs with SSDs.

Drop it $15 and it might be worth a look. Crucial and Samsung are much better value.
