Corsair CSSD-F120GBMP300 Force Series MP300 120GB NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD Network Attached Storage

Fast as hell. Use for my OS on my Asus laptop as it has an m.2 slot and I use the 2TB regular 2.5" data 7200rpm drive as my storage. It's a screaming fast drive, much faster than Standard sata 2.5" and on my i7 3.9ghz 16GB Asus 2 in 1 it boots in 4 seconds from power off literally. If you have an m.2 slot. You NEED to out an NVME like these in it and out the OS on it. You'll be amazed and this isn't even the fastest one out there, I have two of the fastest ones out there now in my desktop Tower and it's amazing but I wanted a smaller size cheaper one for my laptop because I already have tons of storage space so I 128 was more than enough for the operating system and my apps.

Using CrystalDiskMark 6.0.2 (tested twice, 1GB size), I've tested the sequential read/write speeds [in MB/s] to see how close they are to the product's tech specs. On Corsair's site, they test their speeds with CrystalDiskMark as well (abbreviated as CDM).My speeds: 1570.1 Read, 856.1 WriteCorsair's site: [Up To] 1580 Read, 920 WriteIt's on par with read speeds, and write speeds will vary (Mine was 63.9 MB/s below the maximum reading. Hence the word, "maximum". On a NVMe drive, it's perfectly fine.)For my use, it's just right. It's not SATA, it's at the right price point, it's quick, has the right amount of storage space, too easy to install, and helps save space thanks to the M.2 design.

Installation was a breeze, and my motherboard recognized it without any configurations. Photo provided shows the upgrade from a 2.5 " sata SSD to the Corsair MP300 M.2 NVME. Main reason for the upgrade was to improve cable management, as the M.2 doesn't require any power nor data cables.

Installed a dual M.2 120GB RAID on my son's Z370 board over a year ago and I'm blown away at the speed the system operates. I think my son takes it for granted as he's just in if for the gaming, but once I get him into video editing or anything where you're moving/modifying large files, he'll understand how lucky he is!

While there isn't much of a noticeable difference for me over sata SSDs, the benchmark tells another story. If I needed that kind of read/write speed, I would be pretty happy for $60. Even though I don't need those speeds, it nice knowing its there and I didn't break the bank buying it.System Specs (though probably not relevant):Intel i7-7700k32 GB Corsair Vengence RAMGigabyte GA-B250-HD3 MotherboardGTX 1070Corsair 550 watt power

These things are so small and so easy to install. M.2 NVME truly is the storage solution of the future. I love it. Took like five mins to install. Pity though, Corsair's clone software appears to be from 1998. Had to use a third parties, which I didn't appreciate.

I used this product for my OS and instead of the 5 seconds it took originally it only took about 1-2 seconds on the slowest boot. For the price listed it is worth the money. Its extremely durable and easy to install I have a Ryzen build and it pairs nicely with my components.

This is a great option for those on a budget. I purchased the 480Gb version. I used Acronis True Image to move my Windows install from my SATA SSD to my new MP300. Install and transition was a complete breeze. I was able to boot to my new MP300 on the first try with no hiccups.This review is coming roughly 2 weeks after the purchase. I am extremely satisfied.

This was my first time working with an m.2 drive, and I definitely enjoy the performance I see over my previous SSD. Big enough to chuck Windows on and have some extra space for programs, paired currently with a TB QVO drive for games. For the right price, makes a good budget addition to a low to mid-range rig.

Matched specifications, r/w speeds are to spec. Using as a bit drive, works really well. Great drive. Added graphite and heatsink stop keep temps down, usually sits around 30 degrees. Great value.

I like it casue its fast but need more gigabytes

Nice, fast, no issues at all. Can't fault it at all

Really fast but showing is age. But still fast...really fast
