I put it on my M3p (1.01). I didn't really see much difference, and I did some quick before and after benches. But I'd just keep the 1.00 fw.
Yea I didn't see this post til I tried 1.01 I'm trying to get them to re post 1.00 on the forums Read went down from my little bit of testing

Yeah, I already asked plextor for 1.00 and they told me its not possible.
Those are some pretty in QD1 4KWRs. I have one M3P, and I might just have to grab another.
nik58: Epic results!
Thanks guys, it was a pleasure
real nice marks

A single M3p
Two in R0, 64k stripe
Two in R0 with 4k stripe
And finally a big dirty array of two plextors and two M4's
man the big dirty array is actually fairly stanky, those 4k write @ QD1 results are just insane

Anyone know any places to get the m3 pro other than newegg? I'm in california so newegg charges tax and amazon doesn't carry it. Its impossible to find
Thats cause it so Uber! I used to have one, but had to ship it away. i havent been the same since

Have you tried google shopping?

I have noticed that the availability of the Plextor M3Pro models is strange. For a while, newegg had an exclusive in the US. Even now, no one is cheaper than newegg, and there are not as many retailers as there are for most other SSDs. I expect Plextor still has some sort of exclusivity or minimum-price deal going with newegg.

Even with the sales tax, you're still coming out ahead. Trying to find any of them is hard enough most days, so if you want one, just get it from Tha Egg.
Are these drives having issues with Areca hosts (particularly the 1800 series)?
I've read the Vertex4 doesn't work with Areca cards and the Crucial M4 had this issue forever until recently addressed with a firmware update.
I've yet to find any posts about the Plextor drive and Areca hosts. Anyone know for sure?
you can buy them from Plextor america 389.00 i think it is also off fleabay ships from newegg same price as site/ newegg is still the cheapest
by several $$
