TLDR: Very fast, and faster than a standard SSD. Boots to Windows 10 in 6s. Runs cool (51C peak whilst constantly running Crystal Disk Mark, came nowhere near the throttling temp of 70C). Very good for gaming and video editing, but a standard SSD with a memory cache may beat an NVMe on cost/performance for non CPU intensive applications.I own a gaming laptop (MSI Apache, i7, 16GB, 1060 6GB, 17.3” 1080p screen), bought in 2016. Still a very good laptop as it still plays latest game releases at high quality and 1080p. Trouble is that in 2016, NVMe drives ran hot, were not the most reliable, and very expensive… so a common trick was to tick the NVMe box on the specs,but actually put in a standard SSD in a NVMe form factor!That is what I got; a Kingston standard drive that only looks like a NVMe drive. Oh well, at least NVMe drives are now cheaper, so upgrading is not expensive anymore… which is where the Corsair Force series comes in.I’ve been put off upgrading for a while not because of price but the horror stories of NVMe drives not working, plus the high temps, which are very bad for laptops as there is no cooling (only the CPU and GPU are cooled via heat pipes on mine; everything else is convection cooling).Okay, so first thing; Installation. As with many people who use a machine for work as well as play (I’m a web developer and this is my work machine), I am unwilling to do a clean install of Windows, and want an easy revert path. That meant I needed to clone the Corsair before I installed it, and keep my original Kingston drive intact for quick re install if anything went wrong. A NVMe USB3 caddy with M slot compatibility is what I needed, but these are not cheap; search Amazon on B07FJ6F2K6 for the one I bought; this caddy worked perfectly. Upside is that I now have a fast USB3 external drive, so all good! NB – A less expensive route for me was to image the old drive as then no caddy required, but that does not allow me to revert quickly.Also, a major tip – upgrade your BIOS firmware before starting. Recent NVMe drives need it!Anyway, after installation I hit a common problem; the NVMe is detected by the BIOS, but Windows 10 says it is inaccessible. A long 2 hour head scratching exercise followed, where the web was no help because most of the solutions were legacy, and the current solution is actually far easier than messing about with the BIOS or windows updates; assuming a recently updated firmware, just boot into safe mode once and then reboot and the problem goes away! Probably something to do with Windows needing to update its config before recognising the drive, but that won't happen unless Windows boots at least once... but until it does, it can't update the config. A chicken and egg situation that requires a little bit of lateral thought.I have included an image of my NVMe installed (middle right in the photo). My second drive is visible far left; it’s a Crucial MX300 1TB SSD. This is fairly typical; a high performance but small NVMe with a higher capacity SSD.A common concern with NVMe is how much heat they generate, especially in a laptop with little general airflow. As well as reduced lifetime, there is the potential of performance throttling.I used HWInfo to check the NVMe temps as I ran Crystal Disk Mark for a long test. Peak temp was 51C, with the drive averaging 49C over the test. Ambient temperature for the drive (30 minutes of web browsing and writing this review, including creating the video) was 39-44C. So, temperature is not a problem with this drive even in a laptop with no forced airflow. With just convection cooling, it never gets anywhere near the throttling temperature, and even on load it remains cool. Looking at the drive SMART value table, the throttling temperature looks to be 70C, and significant life-reducing overheat is 90C. Not even close!On to performance.As standalone hardware, the NVMe is always faster than a SSD, and much faster on boot time (look at the video for my boot time post update; as soon as you see the parrot background wallpaper, windows 10 has loaded; 6 seconds!).However, for my Crucial SSD, I am using it with Momentum cache enabled. This uses 4GB (but I have never seen it use more than 2GB) of your memory as a read-lookahead and write cache. You can see in my Crystal Disk Mark results that the SSD plus cache is actually faster than the NVMe!Not clear cut though; during the benchmarks Momentum Cache uses up to 100% of my i7-6700HQ CPU time, whereas the NVMe uses none.For gearheads who want the absolute fastest system overall, it has to be a 100% hardware solution via NVMe. For those of us with fast i7s and lots of memory to spare, a SSD+cache is almost as good though.Not something you hear often in hardware reviews on the big youtube channels and web review sites, but it is certainly something to consider.Downsides?I’m using a 240GB MP510, which means its really only big enough for the OS and applications. Games have to go on the 1TB Crucial MX300, so I’m relying on the NVMe to make my OS faster, and Momentum Cache to keep texture-load times and load-time micro glitches to a minimum.It has to be said though that the MP510+SSD+cache makes for a very smooth gaming experience, with the 16GB memory, CPU and GPU all working as a well loaded system with no bottlenecks; the laptop simply runs at optimum, and is pretty close to my desktop other than gaming resolution (my desktop is an Alienware, i7-6 core, 24GB, GTX1080, 4k-60Hz main screen, 1080p-144Hz second screen).Overall, there’s a lot to like with my upgrade to an NVMe.Boot time is practically instantaneous, windows is much more responsive, applications load faster, and the whole computer just feels better. Not as much as the transition from standard hard drives to SSDs, but definitely a significant refinement.Coupled with the Crucial with cache as my data drive, the whole thing runs like butter throughout!

Bought this 240gb Corsair M.2 to serve as a system drive to Windows 10 on PC I put together. I wanted to change OS to a 'built-in' option directly on the motherboard to allow me to upgrade my other drives as needed, however as this drive has plenty room for Windows and any other essential applications it's unlikely I will ever need more. The drive is FAST! I am not getting the advertised speeds but that's probably due to my limited understanding of PC architecture and BIOS setup (I'm an Apple User historically and in training) and I also think my placeholder CPU and Athlon 200GE may also be bottlenecking my system somewhat, rather than a problem with the MP510. It was easy to install,but to make it easier I removed my Graphics Card as I did not have magnetic tools. The motherboard (B450-F Gaming) recognised the M.2 and as I'd seen recommended to do, I physically disconnected all other drives and THEN formatted the Drive and then install Windows onto it. Once Windows was setup I physically connected my other Kingston SSD and two HDD drives. I am getting via AS-SSD Benchmark 1,526mb/sec READ and 1,036mb/sec WRITE. Which compared to what I was using before I had this PC is BLAZING! PC Boots in under 20 seconds, but will probably be faster as I'm just using a placeholder Athlon 200GE processor atm. The build quality of the item itself is adequate, although the PCB board is very thin, (be careful when removing the item from the plastic packet housing it). The packaging however is not overdone and is simple and yet effective enough to protect the item. No problems with it so far and I'm very happy with it.(Update) December 2019 - I have since updated my CPU and I am now getting 2536mb Read and same write speed, no problems with this drive whatsoever, it is a very very fast drive to use as your system disk.

I bought this product for a recently upgraded PC where I wanted the storage to be equally as good as the other upgraded areas (CPU, memory and graphics card). I'd never installed a M.2 drive before and found it very simple; plug and play. The product at first posed some problems with my motherboard, but this corrected quickly with MSI releasing a compatibility BIOS update. Very fast with load heavy games including Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5. The different is noticeable compared to a standard SSD regarding load times, but it is questionable whether the price is worth it?I would recommend this PC for the gaming enthusiastic who is wanting ultimate performance from a storage drive and very short loading times,to keep in line with other upgraded components. I feel I fit in this category but for anyone else a standard SSD half the price would be more than enough.

With a cheap adapter on an ancient PCIe-2 motherboard, this is absolutely flying. Without Primo-Cache it natively reads at around 2400MB/s, with Primo-Cache enabling this as Level 2 storage, it's as you see above.Whether this figure is actually valid in day-to-day use, remains to be seen, but it impressed the hell out of me.There is a possible workaround to make this a bootable drive using grub or some other bootloader, initiating from the normal SSD boot-C and swinging over to this for the rest, but I haven't done that yet.If Primo-Cache can enable a fast boot from this as it stands, I'll probably leave it as it is and not furtze around with it too much as I intend to upgrade the motherboard reasonably soon,and the bits I've got can be carried forwards.

Built two office PCs and wanted a M.2 drive to boot from.Very impressed with boot speeds. Unmatched to any SSD I’ve used. Installed Windows 10 from a USB in just a few minutes. Quickest install I’ve ever done!! Didn’t benchmark, but speeds are noticeably faster.Installing the drive was a breeze. Drives came with the single screw that is required to hold the drive in place. Does require a very fine philips head screw driver.My one complaint is they seem to run a bit hot. Showing 60 at idle. Should be fine as cases have good air flow. I would probably avoid if I was going for a smaller form factor.Will monitor temps but overall very satisfied!

I gave 4 stars as apposed to 5 the heat sink is a bt on the big side. it's extremely fast but that's to be expected found games don't stutter when gaming. so it's a big difference. it runs nice and cool but my nvme drives have active air cooling as well as heat sink. on my motherboard its mounted on a dim.2 card vertical to motherboard the heat sink overhangs fan headers not a real prob just need to run wires all over the place.The software from corsair to look after it is simple to use as mine had a firmware update that it performed automatically just a click of a button. mine runs at 29* at idle and around 35-40* when gaming

The m.2 stick is brilliant I am using it for my OS and seems a lot quicker than my SSD that I was using originally. I have had no issues cloning the SSD to this and relatively quickly although I did worry the first time I was cloning it as it didn't appear on my devices (My Computer) but the software knew it was there and so did the Bios. I would say check around for the prices, as I ordered this from a different website for £80 so cheaper than Amazon.Yes the Samsung Evo 960's are quicker, but unless your a computer or can do bullet time, I doubt you will notice it as it loads the OS within a few seconds.

Very happy with this product. I have a read speed of 3 Gbs and a Write speed of 1 Gbs. My computer is just more responsive. My games load 1 to 3 seconds quicker than my Samsung 850 SSD. It is a similar to when i move my operating system from HDD to SSD many moons ago. I can notice the difference. I am afraid i will not go back to a SSD for my operating system to be installed on again as they are just not fast enough. The M.2 Tech is going to just get better. I regret not getting the 960 GB version as it is faster from the benchmarks i have read. Well it is M.2 for my operating systems from now on.

I needed a decent storage for my Intel NUC PC that I use for playing music on my HiFi and as a sort of "server" PC for some games.I was a bit worried for compatibility issues and some talking about heat problems.It is doing absolutely fine. It has been recognized by my NUC as soon as started, just needed to be formatted as usual.It is a massive improvement over regular SATA SSDs. Not all of the M.2 drives will be, some of them are quite slow. But this has got speeds in the range of the Samsung EVO nVME drives, so the difference between this and a regular SATA SSD is massive.

I have a pair of these setup as a single storage space (Striped). I have used them as the main data drive for Oculus storage. Elite Dangerous and RaceRoom run without any issues.They are running better than the previous SATA 3 6Gb/s on twin SSD's in hardware Raid 0 configuration.I couldn't afford 970 EVO's but I have not been disappointed so far.

My son is really happy wit the amount of extra storage he has got for his PC at this price. He uses it mostly for gaming, and a lot of the games he is playing now need a lot more storage space then they used to. He found it easy to install (but he is a bit of an IT wizard so I'm not sure how easy it is if you're not!) Very happy with the results

I installed this in a small form factor PC I was building. SSD is the way to go. Just make sure you have the right motherboard for connection. Easy to fit, compact and very fast. I benchmarked this using speed testing software and found this to be in the top 10% of it class for speed. Excellent R/W times and very good value for money.

1.2.2020

Been using it for a month now and it's been a pretty good SSD! Used it in a new build and windows took 15 seconds to fully load in. But due to the low capacity you can only really use it as a boot drive and install programs on it as it has gotten slower with more data on it. But overall very good drive, would highly recommend!

With games becoming bigger and better, and requiring more storage space just to get them running at optimal speed, you always need more space for your computer. This drive is easy to plug in once you have access to the motherboard. Once in, setup is straightforward and takes no time at all. Great product for the price.

3.2.2020

Absolutely magnificent, took 10 seconds to install, had games on one partition and installed Windows on the other. 240gb is a bit tight but not overly so. Windows launches instantly its astonishing DEFINITELY get an ssd if you're an avid gamer. Games run smoother, I haven't a single choke due to 100% disk usage since
