At CES this week Plextor has unveiled a new pro version of their M3 solid state drive (SSD) which measure just 7mm in thickness and brings a 7 percent improvement over the standard M3 SSD, currently available.
The new Plextor M3 Pro SSD will be arriving int he next couple
of months, in the following storage capacities: 128GB, 256GB, and
512GB. The M3 Pro will deliver sequential read/write speeds of up to
540/450 MB/s and random read/write speeds of up to 75,000/69,000 IOPS.

latest SATA 6Gb/s (SATA III) interface, a server-grade controller from
Marvell, and flash memory from Toshiba. Unfortunately no information on
pricing has been released as yet by Plextor.
