Review on 💽 Corsair MP510 960GB NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 SSD - Force Series by Eric Currie

This NVME is great! Combined with a true PCI-E 3.0x4 slot, it behaves just like Samsung's best drives in real world scenarios. The key is "real world scenarios”. If you are looking for "professional" reviews of these types of drives, Samsung is always at the top. but the benchmarks used are mostly unrealistic in everyday use. The reality is simple. this drive for less than $130 (I paid $121 for my ships and sold by Amazon) or the Samsung equivalent (970 evo plus) for almost $230. Absolutely not worth the extra charge for Samsung. This drive uses Toshiba memory chips along with a Phison e12 controller. This combo proved very reliable and performed remarkably (other brands use the same combo - google them for a list and specific reviews). Corsair's software isn't as flashy as Samsung's, but it's still fairly user-friendly and simple enough for any novice user. It monitors the temperature of the drive, helps with secure erase/optimize the drive if needed, and also does all the firmware updates for you. And if something goes wrong - a 5-year guarantee for hard drive loading.
