Are you saying that because you know it's going to start selling or because it has been selling in Japan for a week? Looking to get my hands on ten M5p's. biggrin.gif

First M5P review up:

http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/4880/plextor_m5_pro_256gb_px_256m5p_solid_state_drive_review/index.html

Hm, isn't as fast as I thought it would be. The M3P still does very nicely against it.

I'd wait for more reviews and further firmware updates. Very odd that Plextor is the first out with that controller when the grapevine gossip said Crucial would be first; maybe they're tied up with perfecting the firmware?
