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

For anybody experiencing this still. Could you post results before and after disabling fast startup within Windows? Please let me know your results in the responses. The Corsair Force MP510 utilizes a write cache buffer to improve write performance, just like most of the current SSDs in the market. When writing data to the drive, the MP510 writes at up to 3GB/s, but once the write cache fills after about 30GB of data, performance degrades to an average of 1050MB/s, which is still twice the bandwidth of SATA drive. Power Consumption as to your second statement: " as for performance being overkill.....it wont be once you put data on there " what do you mean with this ? I dont do anything except some gaming and do you mean that if I put some data on my nvme disk it will suddenly become slow/slower than a sata ssd? unless I trim it regularly? (which again, win10 does by default) just curious Random performance of 50/169MB/s nearly matches the BPX Pro again, but the MP510 ranked 4th in performance overall. From QD1-8, the MP510 delivers respectable results. It has pool-leading write performance, but read performance is just average. Sustained Sequential Write Performance

if you get the result NTFS DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Disabled) this means trim is ENABLED if its 1 then its DISABLED Extreme Storage Performance: All-new extreme data performance controller delivers up to 3,480MB/sec sequential read, and up to 3,000MB/ssequential write.

the speeds are way overkill for anything I do anyway (gaming) but still nice upgrade from an ancient regular SSD drive in my case, I've been reading this thread in hopes of finding a solution, but I came up with it myself and it is pretty simple, yet it's not very convenient. All you have to do is perform a Secure Wipe through Corsair's SSD Toolbox. Also @Corsair CJ, I tried it with Fast Start disabled - and repeated after a cold power cycle just to make sure the system had legitimately "non-fast started". No significant improvements:

I've heard/read that the 9700k and 9-series in general have spectre mitigation on hardware level, correct? does this mean that the performance on these cpus is exactly the same as if the spectre mitigation was completely disabled by software, or is there still some penalty ?

Whether you’re playing games, editingimages or creating video, it’s time to upgrade to NVMe if you want to go faster. would running a tool like InSpectre that can disable spectre/meltdown protection on older cpu like ivybridge, bring any performance benefit at all on a coffee lake cpu? etc, please note this important note, I'm using CrystalDiskMark 6 to do the tests BUT the speed test is different from version to another! or from other application like (AS SSD Benchmark)!. For example, when I use the latest CrystalDiskMark 7 version the results is always around 2000MB/s Read and 1000MB/s Write which is different. and when testing using (AS SSD Benchmark) app the results is around 1800MB/s Read and 2300MB/s Write AND that is not the case when I test my other NVMe Intel drive which always give me correct speed test with all the programs and versions even though there is only 26GB empty from the drive from the total size 1TB.

windows does have/support trim and its scheduled automatically to run unless you disable that in the defrag/optimize tool yourself , then you can run it manually on command instead, it will say "optimize" for SSD/NVMe drives and "defrag" if its a HDD

All capacities have a rated write endurance of around 0.9-1.0 drive writes per day and a five year warranty period, which are standard for high-end consumer SSDs. Maximum power draw ranges from 6.1-7.1W depending on capacity, so the drive will get warm but thermal throttling shouldn't be a problem outside of synthetic benchmarks. Power consumption is an important aspect to consider when determining which drive is better suited for your needs--particularly if you’re a laptop user. With the help of a Quarch HD Programmable Power Module, we can gain a deeper understanding of a storage device’s power characteristics. to run the defrag/optimize tool just press start to get the start menu up and type defrag and "defrag and optimize drives" should show up, or just go to windows administrative tools and it will be there as an app, Anyway, now that you mention spectre, I made a thread asking about spectre and hardware mitigation on the 9 generation coffee lake cpus here: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/s...00k-cpus-performance-related-question.426082/ but since nobody replied yet and since you mentioned spectre, maybe I can ask you also so I will just paste my question here: The Corsair Force MP510 is available in capacities from 240GB to 960GB, with a 1920GB model on the way. That largest model has slightly reduced performance specifications from the 960GB that we have tested, and the smallest 240GB model has significantly constrained performance, with only the sequential read speeds still in high-end NVMe territory.
