The Plextor M10P(GN) is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on July 11th, 2021. It is available in capacities ranging from 512 GB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 2 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Plextor M10P(GN) interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the IG5236 (Rainier) from InnoGrit, a DRAM cache chip is available. Plextor has installed 96-layer TLC NAND flash on the M10P(GN), 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 M10P(GN) is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s and 5,000 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 650K for reads and 550K for writes.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Plextor guarantees an endurance rating of 1280 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
