Corsair MP510 > Seagate Firecuda 510

Hey

Just wanted to see if people think this is a sideways step in terms of hunting out more performance, or not, for the money.

The Firecuda 510 500GB is currently £104.99 with OCUK. I figured if I could get say £40 for my MP510 480GB second hand(?) then I could potentially "upgrade" for £64.99.

Spec wise the Firecuda 510 seems better on paper.

MP510 | Firecuda 510

• Read speed: 2000 | 2500 (Firecuda 510 wins)
• Write speed: 3480 | 3450 (MP510 wins)
• Read IOPS: 360 | 420 (Firecuda wins)
• Write IOPS: 440 | 600 (Firecuda wins)
• SLC Cache: 24GB | 28GB (Firecuda wins)

I don't think going to Gen 4 is going to offer me anything so I was just planning to stick with the Gen 3 drives.

For £64.99 is it worth jumping across?

Cheers.

Thanks all - that is why I asked. Needed some perspective.

But just to say I haven't found the MP510 to be lacking at all.

Much appreciated.
