Corsair Silently Releases 4 TB version of Force MP510 NVME SSD (updated)
Corsair rather silently had added a 4 TB version of Force MP510 NVME SSD, the new SSD series will become available by next week.
Corsair NVMe M.2 SSD "Force MP510" has a large capacity model of 4TB. The NAND flash type is TLC and the controller Phison "PS5012-E12". That should account for transfer speeds in excess of 3,480MB/sec for sequential read and 3,000MB/sec for write, 580,000 IOPS for random read, 680,000 IOPS for write. Operating temperature is 0~65℃, power consumption is 44mW when idle, 7.7W when reading, 6.6W when writing. Endurance is a whopping 6,820TBW, the MTBF is 1.8 million hours, form factor is M.2 2280, weight is 8.2g, and product warranty is 5 years. Sales will start on June 6th, I do not have a price available just yet.
Update: pricing in the EU hover at € 789,- which is roughly 20 cents per GB.

But it's not really 4 TB, isn't it ?
More like 3.8 ...
For some reason Corsair has smaller capacity than the rest of the M.2 NVMe products...
480, 960, 1920 .. instead of 512, 1024, 2048
My MP600 1TB formats to 930GB.
Could be for added caching? Or redundancy?
Does seem weird now you mentioned it.

On MP510 line they are actually mentioning this lower capacity.
On MP600 it's just round numbers, but in reality still lower than the competition.
It helps with performance to have that spare area, but why not give the customer this choice ?
I'm sure they were losing a lot of sales because people look at offer A and offer B, and offer A (Corsair) is smaller in size, so they go with "B" (anything else in the same price range),
... so instead they switch to plain lying: "1 TB" for MP600 when in reality it's still 960 GB ...
(I'm sure there's a fine-print mention/disclaimer somewhere on the box, which nobody actually notices...)

p.s.
The "formatted" size lowers the number even more, as these sizes are expressed in 1000000000 bytes (GB), while Windows reports in GiBiBytes ( 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 1073741824 bytes )

The Corsair has a bigger static over-provisioning, I like!

"There are two types of wear leveling, dynamic and static. The dynamic wear algorithm guarantees that data program
and erase cycles will be evenly distributed throughout all the blocks within the NAND flash.
The algorithm is dynamic because it is executed every time the data in the write buffer of the drive is flushed and
written to flash memory. Dynamic wear leveling alone cannot insure that all blocks are being wear-leveled at the
same rate. There is also the special case when data is written and stored in flash for long periods of time or
indefinitely. While other blocks are actively being swapped, erased and pooled, these blocks remain inactive in
the wear-leveling process. To insure that all blocks are being wear-leveled at the same rate, a secondary
wear-leveling algorithm called static wear leveling is deployed. Static wear leveling addresses the blocks
that are inactive and have data stored in them."

This happen to all SSD / HDD, the actual usable size is always less than the stated size due to various reason mentioned before.
