With a capacity of 128GB, the Plextor PX-128M1S is well-suited as a boot drive. Unlike 64GB drives which can be a little tight in that regard, you'll have enough space to install Windows, everyday applications like Microsoft Office.

Having had the P320h in our hands for several months now, it’s been a long process getting the P320h to this point, so it’s a pleasure to finally have the opportunity to see if the wait was worth it.
