How to install and setup Corsair MP600 GS NVMe SSD - installation tips and tricks
58In this video I'm showing you how to install and setup the Corsair MP600 GS NVMe SSD. With the things you need to know regarding installing it on the motherboard, then settings you need to tweak in the BIOS and in Windows in order to get it to recognise the drive so you can use it. I'd also recommend using Crystal Diskmark to test the speed to make sure it's running as it should and I'll show you how to do that here too. This Corsair MP600 GS NVMe SSD is fast and a gen 4 drive, but it will work with older motherboards that only support Gen 3 as well, though it won't run at maximum speed.
