Unprecedented PCIe Gen5 SSD performance – CORSAIR launches MP700 PCIe Gen5 M.2 SSDs
CORSAIR® (NASDAQ: CRSR), a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced the launch of the MP700, its first PCIe Gen5 M.2 SSD. Available in capacities up to 2TB, the MP700 sets a new standard for next-generation storage, with sequential read and write performance topping out an incredible 10,000MB/sec and 9,500MB/sec respectively*- up to 40% faster than even the best PCIe 4.0 SSDs available today.
On top of the impressive sequential throughput, the random read and write performance of up to 1.5 million read and 1.7 million write input/output operations per second (IOPS) put the MP700 way ahead of the best PCIe Gen 4 drives. The MP700 is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 motherboards **, making this an upgrade that will last you for years to come. Native support for Microsoft® DirectStorage ensures that you’ll get the most from the latest games, while copying files in Windows and loading applications has never felt so fast.
The MP700 is compatible with your motherboard’s native SSD cooling but also comes with an optional heatsink and fan to ensure you get the absolute best from the drive. CORSAIR has carefully optimized the performance of the heatsink fan to ensure operating temperatures are kept in check without unduly elevating sound levels.
Like all CORSAIR SSDs, the MP700 is supported by free CORSAIR SSD Toolbox software, enabling convenient features such as secure erase and firmware updates directly from your desktop. With a five-year warranty for extended peace of mind that your storage will remain fast and reliable, the MP700 takes full advantage of PCIe Gen5 technology to set a new standard for M.2 performance.
