Corsair Launches the MP600 PRO NH NVMe SSD With 8 TB Option, MP600 GS Budget Models

My thoughts - hey AMD/Intel add more pcie lanes, I'd say about 64 should be good please/thanks. And mobo makers slap 8 m.2 slots on motherboards :)
Weren't you just complaining that motherboards had too many M.2 slots?
 
For a single 8TB drive it's decent............only because there isn't really anything else.

For 8TB worth of SSD storage it stinks.

When one can buy eight individual 1TB drives for less than $650 with 8 boxes, and 8 mem chips 8 pcbs and 8 ssd controllers and 8 warranties for less money than a single 8TB drive, I'd be more inclined to buy eight 1TB drives just so they have to sell me 8 ram chips, 8 pcbs, 8 ssd controllers, # amount of nand chips etc.

It seems they are making us pay for capacity and for speed, which is bs, since a regular 7200rpm drive you pay for capacity only since performance is relatively equal between a 4TB and 8TB 7200 hdd.

End rant

Not that it fully excuses the price but it is a tad harder to cram 8TB of NAND on a 2280 form factor M.2 drive. That said, the same markup can be had on 4TB drives as well which really don't have the same excuse to point to. In the end a lot of the price markup is because they can.

Next gen NAND comes out soon so we should be able to fit 12TB in the 2280 M.2 form factor but who knows if 8TB drives will drop in price as we may just see even higher price tags on 12TB drives.

The could easily make 22110 drives ti accommodate that.

The vast majority of consumer motherboards don't support M.2 SSDs that long so they'd be losing 95% of their sales. Even for top end boards support for 22110 is scant.
 
I can't remember, but if I did I'm reversing course :)
There was a lot of people complaining that the recent lot of motherboards had too many M.2 slots and not enough PCIe slots. I'm pretty sure you were one of them, but I could be wrong.
 
So many models Corsair!!!

MP600 Gen 1 version with E16 controller
MP600 LPX PS5 version E18 I believe
MP600 Pro XT Gen 2 with E18 controller
MP600 Core Gen 2 with E16 controller
MP600 Pro Gen 2 with E18 controller

Now MP600 NH and GS
I think you missed their "Hydro X" SKUs, which come with a pre-fitted waterblock.

With more PCIe lanes you can have both :)
