Corsair Accidentally Reveals MP700 PCIe 5.0 SSD, Running at 10 GB/s

Corsair has teased its fastest PCIe 5.0 SSD yet in an M.2 form factor. The company published some initial details about its upcoming product in a short video. However, the video has been taken private, indicating that the launch date may be at a later stage of the year. Thanks to Overclock3D, we saw its looks and got a slight peek at the product. Called the MP700, the SSD is supposedly boasting a fantastic 10 GB/s read capability. The write section is also impressive, with the NVMe SSD capable of reaching around 9 GB/s of what we suppose is a sustained write speed. It uses 3D TLC NAND Flash and supports Microsoft DirectStorage technology for faster load time. Below is a quote from Corsair about the MP700.
CorsairExperience the performance of PCIe Gen5 storage in your system, with up to 10,000MB/sec sequential read and 9,500MB/sec sequential write speeds for amazingly fast save, boot, and load times.
The high-bandwidth NVMe 2.0 interface and high-density 3D TLC NAND flash memory offer outstanding performance and longevity. Slot the MP700 directly into your motherboard thanks to its M.2 2280 form-factor, while a stylish aluminum heatsink helps manage temperatures and reduce throttling. Microsoft DirectStorage enables unprecedented load times when playing compatible games.

b1k3rdudeLOL, I have replied one or twice to Wizz about these articles. I dont care about sequencial, what I want to see is 4kQD1 reads and rights, in MB/s NOT in iops.
The problem is marketing of these companies, they know the only improvement is sequencial speeds and nothing else. General consumers so not people on this site only see bigger numbers and think better. They don't understand that most of their workflow won't benefit from it.

I am happy to stay on 4.0 I just want larger capacity and lower prices. Don't really care for Gen 1 PCI e 5.0 controllers that require active cooling.

Ownedtbham i missing something?
PCIe 3 = 3,5~
PCIe 4 = 7~
PCIe 5 = 10 ?

it seems to be lower than it should be, or is it just the first to be that fast?
I guess you are forgetting the first gen PCIe 4 drives were 5 and then 7 came out later...

Kinda curious where all this 'excessive' storage bandwidth will lead the industry?
Other than DirectStorage, us consumer/prosumer/enthusiasts haven't been shown many 'exciting' features.
Outside the aforementioned markets, extreme increases in storage bandwidth are helping to advance AI/MI greatly; where do we benefit?

I suppose this is preparation for the presentation in the near future of high-resolution dynamic digital holography. Undoubtedly, extraordinary speeds of moving information will be needed compared to the past.

Who needs those speeds though aside from benchmarks?

Hope the industry isnt planning to artificially lock out directstorage on older drives.

higher prices which means profits.

The industry could go two ways either gradual lower cost over time or higher performance to maintain cost premium.

Problem with performance path it adds premium to motherboards for higher pcie spec.

Its diminishing returns faster you get, I expect a pcie5 drive feels no faster than a pcie3 drive in day to day use. With pcie3 feeling only slightly faster than SATA.
