Corsair MP510, Force Series, 240GB M.2 NVMe PCIe x4 Gen3 SSD (Sequential Read Speeds of up to 3,100 MB/s, Write Speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s) Black

Product Information

NVMe drive, the Force MP500, into the market – but now over a year later we have its successor, the Force MP510. As NVMe drives go, the MP510 uses the latest 64-bit 3D NAND modules, an 8-channel Phison PS5012-E12 controller, and some DRAM to cache reading and writing operations. QLC is taking over the high capacity NVMe SSD market and bringing with it inherently lower performance and lower quality. With either of those criteria satisfied, the MP510 is very much a plug-and-go solution, where you simply format the drive as you would any SATA connected drive. The 480GB and 1,920GB drives have the same read figure while the 240GB drive sees the figure drop to up to 3,100 MB/s.

Its impressive speed, high durability, and compact form factor make it an excellent choice for users seeking a significant performance boost from their storage device. The performance of the drive through the recovery phases, during the World of Warcraft run, is very good indeed. HIGH-DENSITY 3D TLC NAND Provides the ideal mix of performance, endurance and value to keep your drive performing at its best for years. The power efficiency of the MP510 on the sequential read test is similar to most of the other high-end competition, and the MP510 isn't setting any records.We like to see sub-11 seconds here, but as is the case with all Phison powered SSDs, that remains elusive. With it, you can monitor the health of your drive, secure erase the drive, update the firmware, and more.

Given the stunning performance, we’d strongly recommend that you transfer your existing system to it.Samsung can’t expect the current pricing for the 970 Evo or 970 Pro drives, and Intel needs to cut the 760p 1TB drive by at least a third. You will need special software like Wave or Win Magic, which are usually deployed in enterprise and business environments, to activate encryption.

form factor of the MP510 SSD ensures compatibility with a wide variety of motherboards, including those in compact builds.

Having gone through multiple controllers, NAND types, and recently evolving from strictly SATA to the PCIe interface with multiple form factors, Corsair’s decisions and products have been on the leading-edge year after year, getting better every step of the way.

Toshiba's transition to 3D NAND was relatively late and that stuck many Phison SSD vendors with uncompetitive SSDs last year, including most drives with the E7 controller. Even the bandwidth score from the test at the bottom of the graph, Adobe's After Effects is really strong. That said, the actual value proposition of the product does differ slightly across the range, and also in respect to global pricing. Continuing its relationship with Phison and Toshiba, Corsair has replaced the MP500’s components with the latest offerings from those two companies. As is usual in the Microsoft Office section of the benchmark it's the Word test trace that causes problems.
