The Plextor M10e is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on September 29th, 2021. It is available in capacities ranging from 256 GB to 1 TB. This page reports specifications for the 512 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the Plextor M10e interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the SM2267XT from Silicon Motion, a DRAM cache is not available. Plextor has installed 112-layer TLC NAND flash on the M10e, the flash chips are made by Toshiba. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are soaked up more quickly. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. The M10e is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 3,700 MB/s and 2,200 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 440K for reads and 430K for writes.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to three years, which is above average, but shorter than the five years offered by many other vendors. The TBW rating for the Plextor M10e 512 GB is unknown, too.

Notes

Drive:

Might be using 64 MiB allocated as H.M.B.

Controller:

The difference between this and the non-XT revision is that this revision doesn't support DRAM, in fact it supports HMB (Host Memory Buffer). Also, this revision has a different package (247-ball FCCSP).

NAND Die:

Although this Die is a 4-plane design, most Kioxia BiCS5 NAND Dies used in most SSDs are dual planes design because of Yield and production cost.
And because of the die being dual-plane the Throughput is cut in half to 66 MB/s per die.
There is no CuA (Circuitry under Array) in the Dual-Plane variant.
Typical Endurance: 1700 P.E.C.
Rated Endurance: 3.000 to 5.000 (up to) P.E.C.
