Corsair Announces MP600 M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD Compatible with AMD X570
CORSAIR , a world leader in PC gaming peripherals and enthusiast components, today unveiled the new CORSAIR Force Series MP600 NVMe PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD, one of the world's first PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSDs compatible with the new AMD X570 chipset, also revealed today. Unleashed by the PCIe 4.0 ready AMD X570 chipset, the MP600 reaches new heights of enthusiast single-drive storage performance, delivering up to 4950MB/sec sequential read - ten times the performance of many SATA SSDs, and fifty times faster than some hard disk drives.
The MP600's phenomenal performance stems from the hugely increased bandwidth of PCIe 4.0 (PCI-Express Generation 4), a feature that will be made available to customers for the first time as part of the AMD X570 chipset and 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen Desktop Processors. Easily fitting into a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot, the MP600's NVMe interface and high-density 3D TLC NAND combine with a Phison PS5016-E16 controller to enable a new level of single-drive SSD performance. Boasting up to 4,950MB/s sequential read and 4,250MB/s sequential write speeds, the MP600 is ready to become the storage center of your new 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Desktop Processor and AMD X570 chipset-based system.
Alongside today's unveiling of the MP600 and the AMD X570 chipset, CORSAIR is proud to announce wide-ranging compatibility across its full lineup of products for both the new AMD X570 chipset and the upcoming range of 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen Desktop Processors. From high-efficiency power supplies, performance all-in-one liquid CPU coolers and enthusiast cases to high-speed SSDs and performance DDR4 memory, CORSAIR components ensure that users will get the most from AMD's exciting new platform and range of processors.
"AMD is making huge strides in bringing new, high-performance features to the PC enthusiast market, and we're delighted to be able to partner with them in doing so," said Andy Paul, Founder and CEO of CORSAIR. "With the MP600, AMD X570 motherboard owners will be able to experience the benefits of PCIe 4.0 immediately, with the fastest CORSAIR SSD yet at the center of their system."
"CORSAIR has long been a key AMD partner, supporting AMD processers and boards with its wide-range of performance DDR memory and PC components" said Chris Kilburn, corporate vice president and general manager, Client Channel, AMD. "The MP600 is the ideal continuation of that partnership, bringing amazing new high-performance storage to platforms built on our revolutionary new PCIe 4.0 ready AMD X570 chipset."
Availability, Warranty
The CORSAIR Force Series MP600 NVMe PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD will be available alongside the full launch of AMD X570 chipset motherboards and new 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen Desktop Processors in July 2019. The MP600 will be available from the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors.
The Force Series MP600 is backed by a five-year warranty and the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network.

I like the heatsink but as always, corsair charges an arm and leg for an added heatsink, they do that to memories, hope wont be the case this time.
Even if the new Ryzens were still a bit slower than Coffee Lake (which they are not, they are faster in every way other than "raw Ghz"), the new platform is still WAY more attractive than anything Intel (for consumers), simply because of freekin' PCI-e 4 !!
As for SSD bandwidth, you are almost never going to benefit from these stupidly high 4GB/sec numbers that are being thrown around, because sequential reads are the least common type of workload. Random reads and writes are the most critical metric for SSD performance and I guarantee you that those will be hardly improved, perhaps even regressed, compared to current SSDs that are "only" PCIe 3.
Looking forward for some Samies EVOs with 7000MB/s read/writes in the near future.
Can't wait to do NVMe RAID with one drive from CPU and another one from Chipset, to actually have full bandwidth of all 8 lanes.
I never said this upgrade applies to Joe Average Gamer & corp.
Edit: Or 15 GB/s...
