I had new Nvme SSD Plextor M8Pe 256GB for while and it seems it doesn't support some features,

For example SiSoftware Sandra does not provide full and detailed report about it just a few things like model, vendor and stuff which is about 10 lines.... but for example sisoftware Sandra provides lots of information about Samsung 850 pro (about hundred lines of information)

CristalDiskInfo also provides less detailed information from M8pe however it says condition is good.

Samsung magician also fails to generate SMART report about M8pe . it shows nothing,

Also the SSD is not compatible with ASPM l0 or l1... when ever I activate ASPM system fails to boot.

Did I got faulty SSD or is it because its new and I have to wait for driver and software updates?

I'm not really giving any solution here, but I got the 512 version recently and I don't go by benchmark that much so what you said about some of those things wouldn't affect me. Tom's Hardware said in it's new "Best SSD of the month for October" that they are waiting for Plextor to release a new firmware before they do a review of that M.2 drive drive and are able to rate it as a viable choice for M.2 drives. My experiences with it so far are my boot up speed are great and my programs load fast, but I too would like a new firmware to be release that will improve it's performance and make it more compatible with other features and programs.
