Hi

I have the Acer W700 with 128GB msata Toshiba SSD. Just bought a Plextor PX-256M5M and installed in the PC. Seems not to work well. I managed to install Win8 on the disk but it took about 10 hours. Everything related to the disk is going extremely slowly. After installation i can't boot into Win8. It tries, but just hanging, and some times after a long time, a win8 fatal error screen appears.
Inserting the Plextor disk in a USB box, and running some disk tests and benchmarks shows no problems at all. I'm able to use the disk as a standard USB3.0 disk.

Called Plextor support. They just say i ran into a compatibility issue and they can't help me. FW/Bios is the latest on in both SSD and PC.

Anyone with some ideas here?

I realize this thread is old, but that drive may be defective. I have had drives like this in the past that checked out ok, but needed replacement. Hopefully you have done that. Plextor has fantastic customer service and you should be able to get a replacement in no time. Great drive btw.
