Review: Corsair MP600 CORE PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe
We review a new revision Corsair MP600 PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD; this is the CORE model, which is amongst the best performing NVMe SSDs we have tested to date, rating at 5 GB/sec. Corsair is trying to offer a more price-competitive product range. The 2 TB version tested costs 16 cents per GB. In this round, however, there's a twist.

i have this as well, works fine never had any issues, apparently the latest firmware for it causes speed degradation according to the corsair forums, but i haven't experienced it.

I am on the fence on whether I want to take a chance on another Corsair M.2 SSD drive. I have two MP600 1tb drives both running the V13 firmware. One performs as spec'ed the other cannot get over 1000MB/s in writes; both ran like Ferrari's on the 11.3 firmware. Both boot drives in the same system. They are on a PCIe 8x riser with a toggle between the two drives for boot priority. They sort of act as a RAID 1 with out the overhead. A GHOST automated script keeps the data on both sync'ed. It is a special built card that is not commercially available so do not ask where to get one. They have build dates 6 weeks apart with the same hardware revision. One flashed fine and the other got goosed for some reason. I flashed them hoping it would fix a bug in the drives and it did but created a much bigger issue in the process. I flashed them before the public outcry started about the F'up firmware. Corsair's RMA department has been close to zero help with getting a resolution. They will RMA the drive but will not send a replacement until they diagnose the drive first; basically they are worthless. They make good stuff, just not M.2 SSD drives. There SSD drive support is laughable. My next set of drives will either be Samsung or maybe the new Phison PNY drives (have had zero issues with PNY both in hardware and support). Just not ready to roll the dice with Corsair again. The rub is the new firmware randomly screws up drives. So you are gambling if you update to V13; some people have had the issue with 11.3 as factory shipping firmware but the number of those is a fraction of the total produced. Corsair has a QA issue with the components on the MP600s.

I'm a little confused by the value of this proposition. You can get the TLC Sabrent Rocket Plus 2TB for about 330 euros or $400 USD.
