 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Plexdoor M5 Pro Extreme! Now the most important thing about this drive in comparison to the previous generation M5 Pro is actually that it's mostly been tuned. It also includes NTi's SSD Solution Suite for Plexdoor and has a couple of installation keys and backup now, easy installation keys, so they've included the AnyDrive utilities that you might need with the drive, which I don't remember being included with the non-extreme edition. There's a quick installation guide as well as a limited warranty card and of course the drive itself. Now a lot of people might not know this, but Plexdoor is actually a major SSD manufacturer. They not only make their own SSDs, which are using Marvell controllers with custom firmwares that include their TrueSpeed and TrueProtect technologies. So TrueSpeed is basically their way of saying that regardless of sort of, you know, like the drives used trim, but regardless of all of that the drive is constantly performing maintenance on itself to keep it at or near its brand new performance. And then TrueProtect basically means unparalleled security and data accuracy. So that includes full drive AES encryption as well as enterprise grade features like the burn-in that they do on this drive. So they pretty much guarantee with like a very, very intensive burn-in that you're not going to get a DOA unit and that the flash that they're using is of the highest possible grade. Now the only thing that's really changed between here, I'm going to see if I can find it in my... We're actually going to be doing a roundup on NCIX Tech Tips with this drive and a number of other high performance drives. So I'll pick out sort of some of the drives we're going to look at. Vertex 4 we're probably not going to include. M4 I think is in our results. Vector will definitely be compared. There's the original M5 Pro. So it looks pretty much identical, but with some tweaks they have reached a hundred thousand IOPS with the new Extreme Edition. So what that means is that should put it right up there with the Samsung... Two 840s... With the Samsung 840 Pro in terms of its read performance. So these are going to be the drives that we're mostly focused on here because these are the top performing drives in the market and the Plexter M5 Pro Extreme is priced like a top drive. It also has a five-year warranty like the other top drives. So Neutron GTX Vector and Samsung's 840 Pro all have that same five-year warranty. And in terms of spec you can see the reads and writes are sort of very, very impressive but it comes down to what we find in the real world in terms of the actual performance. So thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the Plexter M5 Pro Extreme. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings, reviews and other computer videos.
