Corsair MP 400 4TB NVMe M.2 SSD

I was telling you 1 year ago about the top of the range in the range of NVMe SSDs from Corsair, more precisely MP 600 available on market in maximum capacity of 2TB. We were talking then about the Phison E controller 96 PCI-Express Gen 4 and TLC 3D memory BLC4 from Toshiba, but in the meantime Corsair has released and MP 510 with Phison E 16 PCI- Express Gen 3 and BICS3 3D TLC memory. Bonus? Corsair MP 510 has a maximum capacity of 4TB, therefore what we do if we need a larger capacity but also a lower price / GB. The answer? Corsair MP 400!

Corsair MP 400 comes with a Phison E controller 12 S compatible PCI-Express Gen 3 x4 and memory QLC with 96 layers from Micron, which allows a maximum capacity of 8TB and a price / GB (or better we call it price / TB) excellent. There are no significant differences in performance between MP 400 and MP 510, but the resistance to repeated writes is quite reduced in the case of MP 400, due to the use of QLC memory.

For example in the case of the 4TB variant we have in the test, the Corsair specifications indicate 800 TBW while MP 510 with 4TB capacity goes up to 3120 TBW. For home use it is not a problem, but if we run applications with repeated writes or in workstation / server mode, SSDs with QLC memories are not recommended.
