The gamedata drive is now the Samsung 870 EVO 2TB - runs great!
The OS Drive should have been the Corsair Force MP600 1TB - runs sadly not great at all!
The reason to buy this one was i wanted to test out a NVME drive and it had the same warranty, 3 times the durability as the Samsung 970 EVO Plus and a Heatsink which gives it an Edge in cooling thus longer high speed data transfer.
Yet it makes my system run like **** bcs somehow if i put it into the M2A slot with 4 PCIe lanes it stalls the System heavily and anything stutters and sputters and stalls, nothing runs smooth despite top notch data tranfer rates.
The solution was to put it into the M2B Slot with only 2 PCIe lanes so the stalls almost disapeared but in MW5 i have qutie frequently bad FPS coming from this drive.
As Benchmark some 3DMark numbers...
My Sys contains of a Ryzen 3600 Stock, 2x16GB DDR4 3600 and the RX480 8GB.
The old storage solution would have 3DMark show ~4550 3DM points.
The new storage solution with the MP600 in M2A between 3800 3DM points(maximum performance energy setting) and 4100 (balanced energy settings) and heavy stutter and stalling.
Yeah it gets worse the higher i set the performance via the energy plan settings.
The MP600 put into M2B would give ~4450 3DM points anyway with minimal stutter.
With the MP600 replaced by the old Samsung EVO 850 i get ~4570 3DM points with smooth as silk FPS.
Why the Corsair Force MP600 stalls my system i dont know but the Benchmarks as well as the gaming experience speaks volume that it is not suited as OS-Drive and should be avoided as such!!!
I will send mine back and change it for something else that hopefully sutis the use case.
Thats it - have fun!
