Corsair reveals their Force MP600 PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD

Useless for most people but damn it's still fast

Actually it is quite useful. Gigabyte lists 750k read IOPS, and 700k write IOPS. That is quite a lot more than Intel 905p (575k/550k). I expect them to be less expensive than Intel drives. We need to w8 for proper tests, but this is very exciting.

Storage drives are, by far, the slowest part of the system. And for a very long time the SSD was the best option. Now they are getting faster, and faster every year, and prices are going down.
 
You didn't give me a single reason as to why it's useful. All you did was list specifications. They are very few who would benefit from this.

Unless you are editing raw 4k/8k files this isn't something beneficial for most people. If you put a normal 3.0 drive even x2 speeds against this the average person would not notice a difference.

Everything that you do benefits from more IOPS. Even if you use Word, browse internet, and play games you will see slight improvement. If you care, or not for that slight bump is the other question. And the answer is most people don't. But for everyone else who actually uses computer for something faster is better. The point of my comment was progress. Stuff is happening. We get faster products for roughly the same price.
 
Yes of course you will benefit, you know what I meant. I was referring to the fact that an insane amount of people won't notice. You'd only notice if you were actually using those speeds. Loading windows and opening Chrome isn't the same as scrubbing a timeline with raw 4/8k footage.
