Corsair releases their MP500 series of M.2 NVMe SSDs

Corsair has released their new MP500 series of M.2 NVMe SSDs, offering high-end SSD performance that delivers performance that is 5x faster than traditional SATA SSDs with similar power consumption and a compact M.2 form factor.

These new SSDs are now available to purchase from the Corsair website in 120GB, 240GB and 480GB variants, for £119.99, 184.99 and £349.99 respectively, offering read and write speeds of up to 3000MB/s and 2400MB/s respectively in ATTO.

With this level of performance, the Corsair MP500 is a competitor to Samsung's high end 950 Pro and 960Pro/Evo series of SSDs, coming with a three-year warranty and a sexy black PCB to blend in seamlessly with your high-end motherboard of choice.

Sadly, these new MP500 series SSDs are not available in larger 1TB and 2TB variants, which means that Samsung remains the leaders in the M.2 market when it comes to capacity. That being said it is great to see a new competitor in the enthusiast-grade M.2 SSD market.

This SSD is compatible with Windows, MacOS X and Linux, with no need for any special drivers for support, making the installation the Corsair MP500 a simple process.

The Corsair MP500 also comes with support for enhanced error correction, making this SSD more reliable than previous Corsair SSDs, with support for dynamic wear-leveling to help this SSD outlast traditional SSDs.

Right now Corsair's MP500 series of SSDs are available to purchase from Corsair's website.
