Customers commend the Force Series 2TB PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive's performance. However, some customers found the included heatsink to be quite large and potentially incompatible with certain motherboards. The heatsink's size presented a challenge for some users in terms of physical space constraints. This suggests that while the drive itself is well-regarded, potential buyers should consider the dimensions of the heatsink before purchase.

I recently started getting into 3D rendering, which is CPU intensive. While looking for a 12+ core monster chip, I stumbled across this Corsair Force Series MP600. It fit perfectly with the PCIe Gen 4.0 motherboard I was planning on buying, so it all worked out. I previously owned a Samsung 960 Pro NVMe M.2 512GB which was capable of 3500 MB/s read and 2000 MB/s write. After looking over the specs for the Corsair Force MP600, I was obviously overdue for an upgrade. 512GB, 3500 read, 2000 write VS. 2TB, 4950 read, 4250 write I hadn’t upgraded my gear since early 2018, so I had some pennies saved up. Additionally, the cost of storage per GB, at the time of my MP600 purchase, was considerably less compared to 2018. I paid $299 +tax for the 512 GB 960 Pro back in January 2018. For less than $100 more, I got the 2TB MP600 in the summer of 2020. My how times have changed. I can’t wait to look back over this review years from now to compare the cost and capability of tech in the future. Back to the present time: Since the price was a steal (compared to 2018) I bought two of the 2TB MP600s and, as it stands, I am completely satisfied with my purchase. No more moving high-resolution RAW images to an external hard drive to save space. Additionally, transferring files from my previous drives to the MP600s was a breeze. When transferring files from the 960 Pro to the MP600, I was able to consistently transfer files at speeds of 1.5 - 2 GB/s. I transferred 120+ GB of high-resolution RAW images in minutes. No more drag, drop, then go do something else while waiting for a 30-minute transfer. In addition to the transfer tests, I ran the obligatory CrystalDiskMark benchmark which can be seen in the included screenshots (and seen in several other reviews). I set out to increase my storage capacity, increase performance, and do a little future-proofing. Based on the performance, the relative newness of PCIe 4.0, and the generous 5-year warranty, I see this investment going the distance. And by that, I mean I’ll be back in 2-3 years with whatever else is new. Long story long: This has been a positive buying experience.

I bought this last month and paired it with my new motherboard. The price seemed mind-boggling, but once you use it, you see why it costs so much. it's convenient for space. It hooks right into the PCIE slot, so no fooling with a SATA cable. The boot speed is FAST! My computer boot up under 10 seconds every time. If you're building a PCIE 4.0 system, this is a great NVMe drive to get. Worth the price.

So far so good I just wish it was a 4 TB however the read right speed is awesome. And it seems to be able to handle a lot of output
