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. 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. 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,

the speeds are way overkill for anything I do anyway (gaming) but still nice upgrade from an ancient regular SSD drive in my case, if you get the result NTFS DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Disabled) this means trim is ENABLED if its 1 then its DISABLED 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 High-density 3D TLC NAND: Provides the ideal mix of performance, endurance and value to keep your drive performing at its best for years. 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 curiouslet windows do it automatically on a schedule (this is default on a fresh win10 install, runs weekly) 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. 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.

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 included in this review are several entry-level NVMe drives, our results from testing an engineering sample of the upcoming Silicon Motion SM2262EN controller, and the Toshiba XG6 OEM SSD that will hopefully get a retail version soon. AnandTech 2018 Consumer SSD Testbed I've heard/read that the 9700k and 9-series in general have spectre mitigation on hardware level, correct? does this mean that the performance on these cpus is exactly the same as if the spectre mitigation was completely disabled by software, or is there still some penalty ? atleast from reading a lot about this on the win-raid forums and looking at benchmarks from there thats what it would seem like, the native driver is still plenty good for anyone though and none of this is ever noticeable in games or such 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,

Random performance of 50/169MB/s nearly matches the BPX Pro again, but the MP510 ranked 4th in performance overall. From QD1-8, the MP510 delivers respectable results. It has pool-leading write performance, but read performance is just average. Sustained Sequential Write Performance 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, 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. Corsair SSD Toolbox Software: Enables advanced drive controls from your desktop including secure erase and firmware updates. 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.
