About this deal

Continuing its relationship with Phison and Toshiba, Corsair has replaced the MP500’s components with the latest offerings from those two companies. I decided to choose this over alternatives such as the Samsung 970 Evo plus, and I suggest you do the same. Max random read falls a bit short of factory specs because they are given for an empty secondary device. A smaller footprint is what you need if you want to fit 8-flash chips, DRAM, and an 8-channel controller on a 22mm x 80mm PCB that is about the size of a stick of gum.

Additionally, the 4TB MP510 differs from its older brethren in that it has a newer version of Phison's powerful E12 controller, the E12S. Switching to writing to another NVMe drive, the transfer rates for the 5GB photo and 12GB movie folder came out at a very impressive at 2,483MB/s and 2,481MB/s respectively. That said, operating temperature is rated at up to 70C and the E12 controller runs fairly cool compared the previous E7, so thermal throttling shouldn’t be an issue in most cases. But note that the sticker here is just that this time around, unlike the copper-based sticker on the previous model, which acted as a heatsink.Given the stunning performance, we’d strongly recommend that you transfer your existing system to it. Futuremark’s PCMark 8 is a very good all round system benchmark but it’s Storage Consistency Test takes it to whole new level when testing SSD drives.

As is usual in the Microsoft Office section of the benchmark it's the Word test trace that causes problems. NVMe drive, the Force MP500, into the market – but now over a year later we have its successor, the Force MP510. It utilizes Toshiba’s 64L 3D TLC NAND flash and Phison’s latest (and highest performance) SSD controller, the PS5012-E12. Queue depths range from 1 to 32 and each queue depth is tested for up to one minute or 32GB, followed by up to one minute of idle time for the drive to cool off and perform garbage collection. Additionally, whenever an SSD delivers a total score that exceeds 7K it is something to take notice of.Desde sua instalação em meu notebook Lenovo notei uma grande diferença no desempenho da máquina, realmente vale muito a pena comprá-lo. Please allow 2 working days for a response as some item's enquiries with international suppliers may be required. UHD Blu-ray and other disc backups on the slow hard drives (still fast enough to saturate 1GbE) and documents/photos, etc.

A quick recap of our testing reveals several highlights where the 4TB Corsair MP510 really stands out in terms of performance. With a Windows 10 install done in UEFI bios mode, and with Ultra-Fast boot enabled (shortly after clean install), booting took literally only 2-3 seconds from BIOS to desktop. With the possible exceptions of greater capacity or a design that can utilise an x8 or x16 PCIe slot, the MP510 represents the better end of what NVMe has to offer at this time. There's a marked improvement in 4K read performance at lower queue depths when switching to the highly compressible data of CrystalDiskMark's 0 fill test. However, in between those two marks at QDs 2 and 4 the roles are reversed as it's the MP500 that has the edge.That, plus nearly class-leading sequential performance and a five-year warranty, make Corsair’s MP510 a Force to be reckoned with. Corsair’s Force MP510 is a refresh of the Force MP500 series that brings with it some much-welcomed improvements. The Corsair Force Series MP510 may appear at first glance to be an incremental update to the earlier MP500, but under the sticker it's an entirely new and far better drive.
