Review: Corsair Force Series MP510 960GB M.2 SSD
It has been long since I have been so excited about an M2 SSD, meet the Corsair Force Series MP510 M.2, an M2 SSD with the all-new Phison PS5012-E12 series NVMe controller. This puppy is as fast as the 970 series from Samsung, and simply put priced, very attractive. A must read if you plan to opt an M2 SSD anytime soon.

I'd like to see the 480GB version performance if you can get a drive Hilbert.
Thanks for the review, the only thing I find puzzling is the high TBW endurance they are claiming. They say 800TBW for the 480GB but other manufacturers are claiming 200 for that same 64 TLC Toshiba NAND. How can we sure they are not just making this up?

Corsair is finally catching up and possibly even made a better SSD than Samsung's 970. Great news, Samsung needs the competition. This new Phison controller also seems very promising! I'm a bit of a Corsair fan (I own the 460X, HD120's, ML120's, Dominator Special Edition Chrome DDR4 and HX850i) so I'm excited they're finally relevant in the SSD market as well. I look forward to a future where I can control everything through iCue rather than needing 3 different applications.
I've said this before on your Corsair SSD reviews, but this should never be an argument as a reviewer. You should review performance and how good of a buy it is for a consumer. You shouldn't say "yeah they're the underdog so you should consider them". Even when they weren't a great choice I still saw this argument in the reviews. That way you're telling your readers to buy a lesser product just because it's from an underdog brand.
Checked few more reviews and it looks like still 970 EVO is still better (maybe except short burst workload and wear).
It still have only small cache compared to 960 EVO which after ~30GB drop write speed

fantastic.
i'm very curious about the performance of the Phison controller vs. others, especially HP's new M.2 rocking the Toshiba memory with their own controller.

1) Corsair's reputation and service record
2) the memory is probably binned
3) the other companies are too cheap to give a proper warranty / this is an inducement to buy.
