Product Information

These two scores represent the two extremes of how the drive would perform under real-world usage, where wear leveling and modifications to some existing data will create some internal fragmentation that degrades performance, but usually not to the extent shown here.

Everything high capacity is trending QLC, and it doesn't look like TLC will be around for long, at least not at capacity points above 2TB. 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. size fits directly into your notebook or motherboard without the need for additional connectors or cables.

There may be better, cheaper or more elegant architectures available, but this solution works very well across a wide range of situations.

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. Intel Core i7-7700K with 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, Sapphire R9 390 Nitro and an Asus Prime Z270-A motherboard. 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.

The Corsair Force MP510 hits quite high sequential read speeds when operating with a high enough queue depth, but it doesn't scale well at lower queue depths with QD4 performance only slightly higher than QD1.

As our charts demonstrate, the 4TB MP510 handles heavy workloads with ease, which is something that gives it an advantage over most QLC SSDs. Of the two tests, we feel that the Quick System Drive Test most accurately replicates a typical user experience. With a sequential read burst speed just shy of 2GB/s, the Corsair Force MP510 isn't the absolute fastest TLC drive on the market, but there isn't much that can beat it. UHD Blu-ray and other disc backups on the slow hard drives (still fast enough to saturate 1GbE) and documents/photos, etc.

Only reviews that feature the label "Verified Review" have been checked to ensure that the author actually used or purchased the product. Corsair's 4TB MP510 shows us what it is made of by easily digesting what we consider the most important test we run.

Note though, that while it supports AES 256 hardware encryption and TCG Opal specifications, the MP510 is not compatible with Windows BitLocker/eDrive. They mention that it starts up super quick, has no performance drop off, and is perfect for installing your OS.
