Everything you need to know about the CORSAIR MP700 PRO

Fast SSDs are becoming increasingly important for the best gaming experiences, simply because faster boot times and shorter loading times get you in the game faster. Double the speed of PCIe Gen4 SSDs, the latest PCIe Gen5 M.2 NVMe SSDs increase game performance when paired with DDR5 and high-performance graphic cards by leveraging Microsoft DirectStorage to help games load faster.

With astonishing read and write speeds, the CORSAIR MP700 PRO PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe 2.0 M.2 SSD delivers incredibly speedy performance in an industry standard M.2 2280 form factor. It supports PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 systems and carries an excellent support warranty, making it simple to upgrade. The MP700 PRO is available in 1TB and 2TB capacities at launch, with the 4TB options available soon.

As a quick overview: M.2 NVMe SSDs are faster, more compact, have a longer lifespan, and use less energy than SATA SSDs and mechanical hard drives. SATA SSDs and mechanical hard drives are cheaper and can offer more storage space, but the benefits of a good M.2 NVMe SSD are clearly worth it.

The CORSAIR MP700 PRO is an extremely fast PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD. It offers an impressive sequential read speed of 12,400MB/sec and up to 11,800 MB/sec of sequential write speed which will improve your performance significantly when managing large files, loading games, and booting your Windows OS.

There are up to three models to choose from in up to three different capacities, with the choice of cooler being the main differentiating factor. The MP700 PRO is available as a bare drive with no additional cooling, with an Air Cooler, or with a Hydro X Series water block attached. Also, MP700 PRO supports the latest PCIe 5.0 architecture of Intel Z790 and AMD X670 platforms and beyond. It's backward compatible with PCIe Gen4 and Gen3 systems at reduced performance making it compatible with a wide range of motherboards.

Lets look at the key features of the MP700 PRO.

When it comes to flash technology, 3D TLC NAND has been found to provide better read and write performance compared to traditional planar NAND. This means that you can expect faster data transfer speeds, reduced latency, and an overall improvement in the performance of your system.

M.2 is an industry-standard form factor, and 2280 means the module is 22mm wide and 80mm long. The great thing about it is that it fits easily into most motherboards offering increased compatibility. The MP700 PRO is also an NVMe SSD which offer the fastest transfer speeds for any SSDs on the consumer market.

When playing compatible games, the MP700 PRO will communicate directly with your graphics card and increase game loading times by as much as 200%. The number of games that support DirectStorage is limited right now, but it's a technology that games developers are keen to exploit in the near future as it's holds incredible promise for the future of gaming.
