THE M6E BLACK EDITION

Plextor chose a black and red color theme and as many of you know that's one of my favorite color combinations.

Perhaps the most important addition to the M6e Black Edition is this large red heatsink which looks a lot like flames.

The PCB used is black all around but doesn't have anything "fancy" at the rear like the front.

To allow hot air to leave the card Plextor perforated the PCI bracket.

A SATA power connector is placed at the top of the card and although most users will not need it still if you have many cards installed in your system we recommend using it.

You can connect the HDD activity LED of your mainboard (or other custom lighting) with the card by using the two pins placed at the front.

Since many of you might get curious we placed the previous M6e model right next to the new M6e Black Edition to showcase their differences.

Plextor has used a 2280 design M.2 SSD model that measures 80mm in length and 22mm i width (unfortunately it's PCB is not black).

A total of 8 Toshiba 19nm (A19 2nd gen) MLC NAND flash modules are placed on both sides of the PCB (the number is the same for all models, only the capacity changes).

The PCIe to flash controller used is by Marvell and uses two PCIex lanes.
