Best M.2 NVMe SSD?

[leksaloffe]

I'm looking to buy a Corsair Force MP510 240GB as it seems to be really fast, and I could put windows and a couple programs on it. But is it actually as good as it seems? If not, what would be another good NVMe M.2 SSD?

Samsung 970 is the default choice.

What motherboard are you putting this on?
What other drives?

Samsung 970 PRO, M.2 (2280) PCIe 3.0 (x4) NVMe SSD, Phoenix, MLC V-NAND, 3500MB/s Read, 2700MB/s Write,

I'm putting it on an Asus TUF B450-PLUS GAMING.

I only have a WD Green 1TB HDD from 2010.

The NVMe WD Black (500GB or higher) keeps pace with Samsung's now.
I would grab one of them or one of the Samsung's listed above - whichever is the better deal at the time of purchase.

Which one has the longest warranty?

They all have 5 years of warranty.

They all have 5 years of warranty.

Well, the Samsung and WD have almost identical performance, and price.
I'd get one of those, but it's your wallet.

Is the Samsung one worth 14€ more than the Corsair one?

Also, just realised there's an Intel 760p M.2 SSD 256 GB for 76€. Is it any good?
