The Force MP500 is a solid offering from Corsair, it's just unfortunate that their fastest SSD to date has come hot on the heels of Samsung's competition-crushing 960 series.

We like the Corsair Force Series MP500 240GB M.2 NVMe SSD for its raw mind-numbing speed and the only way we could like it more would be in the 480GB model. The 240GB model is great for a boot drive and your most used programs and most played games but...
As I said in the prologue, Corsair was able to surprise me once again with the Force MP500 NVMe SSD, and not only because of its performance, which is excellent. The Corsair Force MP500 NVMe SSD was able to reach its maximum read speed when tested with...
The force is strong with this one. The Corsair Force MP500 is by and large an enthusiast class SSD that can put a smile on any user's face. It comes with an abundance of features, thanks to Phison, that help to protect your data and help to deliver you...
While Corsair has been busy producing some outstanding cases, PSU and other peripherals of late, things in the storage division of the company have seemed very quiet in comparison, well at least it would seem so from the outside.Now that's all changed...
We love anything NVMe these days. You'll be amazed how fast you get used towards 1, 2 even 3 GB/sec read speeds. The numbers that these NVMe M2 units produce are obviously staggering and as such impressive. Now keep in mind, going from a HDD towards an...
Now that the prices of SSDs are starting to fall again, the competition is starting to take off again. Especially the new models from Crucial and Samsung bring some life back to the business, which was badly needed in this market. Last year there were...
PCI-Express SSDs are still quite expensive, but they also perform significantly better than SATA600 SSDs. A few years ago the additional price you paid for a high-end SSD barely gave you better performance due to the SATA600-bottleneck, but now the...
I picked up a Corsair Force MP500 NVMe M.2 solid-state drive for one of the new test systems in the Phoronix lab and so I ran some benchmarks on this high-performance drive compared to a few other SSDs.Curious about the Corsair NVMe SSD performance with...
Since the MP500 240GB mirrored the Patriot Hellfire 480GB so closely throughout the test suite, we're left with little doubt about how the drive will fare in our overall performance index. So let's not beat around the bush. As predicted, Corsair's...
It's been a while since Corsair unveiled a new SSD and today marks their first attempt with the M.2 form factor under the guise of NVMe.The storage sector has now fully embraced a step forward and away from SATA-based SSDs and there are already a lineup...
In short, we like the Corsair MP500 but we don't want to pay a high price for it. Corsair didn't lead with the Phison E7; it followed lesser known brands with a similar product. SSDs don't make the margins they used to so engineering resources are going away. Still, we expect a company with the talent that Corsair has to bring something new to the game.
In conclusion, not since the days of OCZ and their first generation Indilinx based Vertex series have we seen such a risky move pay off with such high dividends. Corsair may not be the first to use this new PHISION controller, but they are the first to do right. If you are interested in an amazingly powerful drive in an itty-bitty package the name Corsair needs to be on your lips. This is the series the average buyer should be looking at. Its performance, its value, and even its asking price leave little room for doubt.
Corsair has introduced a new line of flagship Corsair MP500 SSD, drives provides data transfer speeds of up to 3,000 MB / s read and 2400 MB / s write. As you can see, they are aimed at the high-end segment and potentially able to oust competitors. SSD...
