Plexor M5P Xtreme 256 vs 512

by Viper1979 Dec 22, 2013 11:34PM PST

Wanted to get some opinions on the differences of performance between these two sizes. I know there can be differences and I wanted to see if there was someone out there who has experience with both or even just one?

I have the 256Gb version and it has impressive results. I've been able to get my speeds up to 500/450 read/write - with some tweaking. On average, i'm around 450/380 read/write.

Anyone?

My thought is simple.

I install such, set the defaults and use it. I rarely benchmark or tweak as I find it's a trap of sorts. You may find those that want to scratch out the last possible digit but it sounds quite fast.

Then again, as makers are getting hammered over requests for life span discussions my bet if there is a trade off between speed and life span. I'm only an electronics designer and author software from embedded to full apps so while I can see where this can happen, I think I'll take the default settings.
