Corsair Memory and Storage Products at 2025 CES
Corsair at the 2025 International CES brought a couple of new products from its memory and storage lines. This company used to be called "Corsair Memory" before it became Corsair Gaming, so they know a thing or two about enthusiast-segment memory and storage products, going back decades. We begin our tour with the new EX400U, a portable SSD with a 40 Gbps USB4 interface. The drive comes in 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB capacities, and offers sequential transfer speeds of up to 4000 MB/s reads, with up to 3600 MB/s writes. The company hasn't made any claims on minimum write performance, so we don't know if the drive can be used for 4K or 8K RAW cinematography. More than PC, Corsair wants you to be enthused about its mobile chops. It can connect to an iPhone 15 or later as a mass-storage device, and supports MagSafe. Corsair plans to formally launch this on January 23.
Corsair has been agile in the PC overclocking memory space, responding to new trends with product launches, without having to wait for platforms such as trade shows, so there are no new products as such (You can feast your eyes on a DDR5-10000 Vengeance kit which uses CKD), but the company made two new accessory announcements for its Vengeance and Dominator product lines. For Vengeance, Corsair's mainstream and performance-segment memory line, the company announced Corsair Custom Lab, a service that allows you to customize die-cast designs onto the module's heat spreaders. We've seen a few examples at CES, but we're sure there will be more. The Custom Lab Vengeance RGB modules should be available in Q1 2025.Next up, the company announced the Dominator Titanium Wave accessory kit. These are replacement to the crown of the Dominator Titanium DDR5 module which normally has the module's RGB LED diffuser. The kit includes a golden metal top bar with a tri-spoke pattern, and a clear acrylic top diffuser that comes in a wavy pattern. You can see from the pictures what this looks like when illuminated. This could be Corsair's answer to the G.Skill Trident Z5 Royale.Besides the EX400U, Corsair made no announcements in the SSD space, you can see a showcase of their existing SSD and memory lineups below.
