Great review. Love how compact it is and offers so much. No need for Sata cables and whatsoever.
Once my 512GB 850 EVO won't cut in anymore, I consider to switch to NVMe.

Im sorry but for 500USD its an OVERPRICED Trash and i fully acknowledge of what i just said.
Corsair MP510 2TB beats it in benchmarks, costs 299USD permanently and the cherry on the top has 3120TBW
Even the 1TB MP510 has higher endurance 1700TBW then Samsung 2TBs 1200TBW
For 600USD as in 100$ more then 2Tb Samsung you can have 4TB RAID0 with 3120TBW and fly to the moon 🙂

corsair mp510 is outperformed by hp ex950 2TB, a better drive on all fronts, has it's own nvme driver, and a better controller. You just better be off to provide it some cooling.

Yeah but not much cheaper MegaFalloutFan

P.S. I assume your from UK? Corsair also sells everything thats on their web site, you can buy directly, and they have localized shops, UK, France, Spain.
The offical retail price in Corsair UK to buy directly from them with warranty and free shipping is 264.99GBP for 2TB drive

MUCH MUCHHHHH cheaper, the offical retail price in USA was just reduced to 279USD for 2TB drive, but if you not from USA you can still buy from amazon.com they ship to most countries,I buy most parts there but I usually compare across all amazon shops, USA, UK, Spain, France and Spain, thge bonus of buying from EU i get additional discount, VAT reduction.
Sometimes EU prices are compared to US, then with VAT removal and lower shipping from EU its even cheaper.

It's a pity, that no 960 Pro 2TB was testet, although one can be seen near the CPU-socket on the motherboard on page 7:

I assume it's the systemdrive of that testrig, but it'd have just been nice 2 see a comparison of it. ;-)
But still thanks a lot for the interesting review.

Nope. It's slower than many SATA drives in most metrics.

Note that nobody ever moved from the old SATA SSD and got blown away from the performance of the new spec in the real world compared how people were blown away moving from HDD to SSD.
End of story. You can quote figures all you like.

I was wondering would it be benficial to cache such a drive with ram cache, say with primo cache. certainly the benchmarks would sore, but real world use? also there is the issue of volatile ram, in case of power loss the OS drive could become corrupt...
