Capacity-Dependent Sequential Read

A direct motherboard connection

The M.2 module fits a compatible PCIe NVMe slot without separate data or power cables. Confirm that your system supports PCIe NVMe storage and the 2280 module length before installation.

Choose the capacity for your workload

Both listed models reach up to 3,480MB/s sequential reads. The 480GB model writes at up to 2,000MB/s, while the 960GB model reaches up to 3,000MB/s under Corsair's test conditions.

Monitor the drive over time

3D TLC flash and S.M.A.R.T. support provide the foundation for this drive family. Corsair SSD Toolbox offers drive information and maintenance features; real-world speeds depend on your host system and workload.

Plan a compatible storage upgrade

Compare SSD and storage options, or explore motherboards with the M.2 connectivity your build needs. Check the slot interface, module length and cooling clearance before choosing. Other components shown in installation photos are sold separately.

Match Endurance to the Chosen Model

The endurance rating is 480 GB: 800 TBW; 960 GB: 1,700 TBW. Keep the selected model and capacity tied to its own rating, and maintain backups of important files alongside normal drive-health monitoring.

Which capacity will I receive?

Choose the required capacity before ordering: 480 GB / 960 GB. Speed, endurance and usable formatted capacity depend on the selected model; photos illustrate the family rather than changing the selected capacity.

What motherboard slot is required?

Use a compatible PCIe NVMe M.2 slot that accepts a 2280 module. Check the board’s storage support and slot bandwidth; an M.2 connector intended only for SATA does not establish NVMe compatibility.

Are the advertised transfer speeds guaranteed for every file?

The sequential figures are up-to ratings for their stated capacity and test conditions. Real transfers depend on the host interface, workload, firmware, available cache and thermal conditions.

What cooling should I plan for?

Check the host system’s M.2 installation and cooling requirements, keeping the module clear of other components and following the motherboard instructions.

Are the capacity filter names exact drive sizes?

The filter groups 480 GB under 500 GB and 960 GB under 1 TB. The actual selectable MP510 models remain 480 GB and 960 GB; use the selected model and advertised capacity when ordering.
