It wouldn’t be Corsair if the packaging was any other colours. Black and yellow.
The front gives capacity, interface, form factor and speed information in a neat format, with a large image of the drive.
With the front of the packet showing plenty of information, the rear is pretty void of anything meaningful.
As is becoming the case with SSDs, especially M.2 form factors that require no mounting hardware or connection cables, we find the MP510 in a plastic case with the smallest warranty booklet we’ve ever seen; though at least that goes some way to combatting deforestation, if that bothers you.
The front of the drive is dominated by a black, metallic label, which will hopefully help reduce temperatures a small amount to prolong performance before any kind of throttling kicks in.
The reverse side is populated with NAND flash as well as a controller chip. Generally, single-sided M.2 drives fair better thermally, with it being almost impossible to cool the side adjacent to the motherboard.
