Hello there, 
Im looking for a 240GB Boot SSD, which is only going to be housing the OS (Windows 10), so Im looking for a fast M.2 Nvme SSD thats not to expensive and I found the Corsair MP510 ( https://www.corsair.com/eu/en/Categories/Products/Storage/M-2-SSDs/Force-Series-MP510/p/CSSD-F240GBMP510 ), so I wanted to know if you guys think if that is a good or a bad idea, btw it may not seam that cheap but I can get it for around 35-40€ (42-48$).

For OS SSDs, you’ll be having many random read/writes, that’ll define your OS speed. The MP510 is a good contender (although the Optane 950P will always be the strongest performer). I use a Crucial P5 and its a pretty healthy dose of speed and capacity for me. A little worried about that “I can get it for” price, be careful with used storage, especially SSDs.

With "I can get it for", I mean my main PC Part Supplier Mindfactory has a discount for that an theyre trustfull, so its fine, but do I understand right, that you think that this one would be good bang for the buck?
