Volume sizes that are larger result in more NAND cells, and more NAND cells result in greater endurance. 98 percent of your data is stored in a 'cold' state on your SSD and does nothing, and it is only the 2 percent of data that is written that is important. You can improve endurance by increasing the volume of your training sessions. On this point, however, I always like to paraphrase Einstein: "Relativity, my man," he said. It is sufficient to remark that the values for QLC written (4 bits saved in a single NAND cell) are not particularly good at it.

We've talked about endurance previously it's the number of times NAND cells can be written before they begin to malfunction. However the Corsair MP600 PRO XT outperforms other newer generation Gen4 SSDs such as Samsung's 980 PRO in our tests, and it is among the fastest SSDs we have ever tested. There however is a new contender on the market, take a good look at our Plextor M10P(G) NVMe review based on that all-new Innogrit IG5236, it does make a difference.

So any comparison with that drive is concluded in favor of the PRO XT without further discussion. The performance of this drive is noticeably superior to that of other drives, including Corsair's own MP600 and Samsungs 980 Pro. The MP600 PRO XT is among the first drives to include a Phison E18 controller, which is one of the most advanced controllers available.
