Corsair Force Series MP510 NVMe SSD, PCIe 3.0 M.2 type 2280 - 960 GB

 The NVMe SSDs with the PCIe 3.0 standard offer high-quality 3D TLC NAND memory cells from Toshiba and offer high continuous performance.

The Corsair Force Series MP510 NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 SSD at a glance:
– NVMe SSD with PCIe 3.0 x4 interface
– Extremely fast 3,480 MB / s read and 3,000 MB / s write
– A total of 570,000 / 610,000 IOPS 4KB random read / write
– Phisons PS5012-E12 controller & 3D TLC NAND
– Guaranteed write volume: 1,700 TBW
– M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD with excellent read and write speeds

The Phison controller of this ultra-fast drive supports four PCI Express lanes of standard 3.0, which make a theoretical maximum of around 3,900 MB / s possible! In conjunction with the built-in 3D TLC NAND, the 960 GB variant of the Corsair Force Series MP510 achieves enormous 3,480 MB / s reading and 3,000 MB / s writing, as well as fantastic IOPS values of 570,000 in 4KB read and 610,000 in 4KB write.

NVM Express protocol support for PCIe SSDs
In addition, this Corsair Force Series MP510 also supports the NVM Express protocol (NVMe for short), which was specially developed for modern PCI Express SSDs. This replaces the old AHCI protocol, which dates from before the general spread of SSDs and is not optimized for highly parallelized data carrier access. NVMe provides significantly lower latencies as well as multiple and deeper command queues, which translate into significantly more performance with nonlinear transfers such as 4K read / write.
