PlexTurbo is PLEXTOR's exclusive development of an intelligent “Smart Cache Technology”, using system RAM to greatly accelerate the SSD’s storage performance. In addition, PlexTurbo boosts the service life of the SSD and significantly increases access speed as well. After your PC boots up, the programs running before the last shutdown will be automatically preloaded, reducing the waiting time of running the programs. PlexTurbo also provides automatic load balancing that supports multiple drives and interfaces. Even if you use two or more PLEXTOR SSDs, you will still be able to use PlexTurbo.
Extends life of SSD flash memory by using smart algorithms to eliminate unnecessary writes.
Automatically protects against loss of data from the RAM cache during a power interruption or unexpected system crash.
PlexTurbo includes an Intelligent Boost Engine® (IBE) technology to automatically detect hot data (frequently accessed) and cold data (occasionally accessed) and applies the best caching patterns to read or write files faster than ever.
PlexTurbo can save the latest data and preload it in cache when you boot up the next time. This advance technology can shave precious time off when reading and opening files.
PlexTurbo supports the connection of multiple PLEXTOR SSDs, sharing PlexTurbo’s benefits. (Maximum enabled up to 16GB cache of system memory)
PlexTurbo can customize system memory cache size and release time of cache. (16GB/4hrs max.)
