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

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. Hi I've joined the forum just for this issue as I'm having the same slow write speed issue. As you have asked in your last post I've tried to test the speed with fast startup option disabled. The results are still the same. My drive is 10 months old now and it is the MP510 960GB. Write speed is always around 1000 MB/s and read speed 3400 MB/s. If you need I will post screenshots. let windows do it automatically on a schedule (this is default on a fresh win10 install, runs weekly) The HP EX920, ADATA SX8200 and other similar drives based on the Silicon Motion SM2262 controller, some of which are currently cheaper than the MP510

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. 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. 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. 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:

Specification

The Corsair Force MP510 faces very direct competition from other Phison E12 SSDs such as the MyDigitalSSD BPX Pro, which the MP510 is surprisingly undercutting on price at the moment. Other competitors include: Extreme Storage Performance: All-new extreme data performance controller delivers up to 3,480MB/sec sequential read, and up to 3,000MB/ssequential write. 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, 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 if you get the result NTFS DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Disabled) this means trim is ENABLED if its 1 then its DISABLED

High-density 3D TLC NAND: Provides the ideal mix of performance, endurance and value to keep your drive performing at its best for years. the speeds are way overkill for anything I do anyway (gaming) but still nice upgrade from an ancient regular SSD drive in my case,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. 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 Whether you’re playing games, editingimages or creating video, it’s time to upgrade to NVMe if you want to go faster.

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, All that performance is contained in a compact M.2 2280 form factor and connects using a high-speed NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 interface, making it easy to install into a compatible motherboard or laptop. 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,

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: 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. Corsair SSD Toolbox Software: Enables advanced drive controls from your desktop including secure erase and firmware updates. 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 Drive is actively cooled - peak temperature during the diskmark was 45 celsius during the read tests. Maxed at 43 during writing so shouldn't be any throttling going on.
