Normally we’d suggest ignoring the lowest rung and going up to the 480GB rather than paying over the odds for a smaller drive.

I decided to choose this over alternatives such as the Samsung 970 Evo plus, and I suggest you do the same. They mention that it starts up super quick, has no performance drop off, and is perfect for installing your OS.I timed it and the slowest part of turning it on was because it was already wanting me to input my password more faster than my keyboard could even turn on! There's a marked improvement in 4K read performance at lower queue depths when switching to the highly compressible data of CrystalDiskMark's 0 fill test. It looks like there might be some oddness going on with the key management, but just wiping everything back to zero might help.

TLC is next, and therefore we believe you can't go wrong investing in a quality piece of hardware like Corsair's 4TB MP510. The front-facing side holds the controller, four NAND chips in total and a DRAM chip (cache) on each side of the PCB. The power efficiency of the MP510 on the sequential read test is similar to most of the other high-end competition, and the MP510 isn't setting any records.Even if a QLC SSD manages to do a bit better as we see from Intel's 660P, that is offset by the fact that QLC SSDs can quickly wear out if subjected to heavy workloads for a long period of time. form factor of the MP510 SSD ensures compatibility with a wide variety of motherboards, including those in compact builds. For reference the other major parts in the build was a Ryzen 2600, an ASRock B450M Pro4 micro ATX board and 2x8GB of HyperX 3200Mhz RAM (HX432C16PB3K2).

It costs marginally more than a SATA SSD and delivers size times the speed, and a much greater resilience than the majority of branded SATA SSD drives. This durability, coupled with a 5-year warranty, ensures you're getting a storage solution that is built to last.I wanted to change OS to a 'built-in' option directly on the motherboard to allow me to upgrade my other drives as needed, however as this drive has plenty room for Windows and any other essential applications it's unlikely I will ever need more.
