The Corsair MP510 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on October 16th, 2016. It is available in capacities ranging from 240 GB to 1.9 TB. This page reports specifications for the 240 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the Corsair MP510 interfaces using a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5012-E12-27 from Phison. Corsair has installed 64-layer TLC NAND flash on the MP510, the flash chips are made by Toshiba. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are processed more quickly. The MP510 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 3,100 MB/s and 1,050 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 180K for reads and 240K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 66 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Corsair guarantees an endurance rating of 400 TBW, a good value.
