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

The CORSAIR Force MP510 NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 SSD provides extreme storage performance with up to 3,480MB/sec sequential read, and up to 3,000MB/ssequential write, for blazing fast read, write and response times.

Even when this drive was first set up it was over 60% full but was still writing over 2000MB/sec from what I remember. I don't think I benchmarked it after the firmware update so not sure whether it was that which dropped the performance. I could try pulling some data off to retest it if someone thinks that will be of value, but given the similarity to other users' performance, it looks like we're all seeing a similar issue.Whether you’re playing games, editingimages or creating video, it’s time to upgrade to NVMe if you want to go faster. 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.

Extreme Storage Performance: All-new extreme data performance controller delivers up to 3,480MB/sec sequential read, and up to 3,000MB/ssequential write. 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. 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.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. 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 Also tried it with all the PCIe link power management/ASPM/etc disabled - no significant difference either. I did some digging and the openfabrics opensource 1.5 nvme driver gives in some cases a significant, above margin of error increase in all metrics vs the native win10 nvme driver in those cases where the manufacturer does not supply their own drivers like samsung do for example, etc, even on a samsung nvme disk it gave overall better performance than samsungs own drivers in some benchmarks I took a look at, 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,
