CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced the launch of the MP700, its first PCIe Gen 5 M.2 SSD. Available in capacities up to 2 TB, the MP700 sets a new standard for next-generation storage, with sequential read and write performance topping out an incredible 10,000 MB/sec and 10,000 MB/sec respectively—up to 40% faster than even the best PCIe 4.0 SSDs available today (see cooling requirements below).

On top of the impressive sequential throughput, the random read and write performance of up to 1.5 million read and 1.7 million write input/output operations per second (IOPS) put the MP700 way ahead of the best PCIe Gen 4 drives. The MP700 is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 motherboards, making this an upgrade that will last you for years to come. Native support for Microsoft DirectStorage ensures that you'll get the most from the latest games, while copying files in Windows and loading applications has never felt so fast.

Don't forget to check out the TechPowerUp Review of the CORSAIR MP700 2 TB SSD



Utilizing the industry-standard M.2 2280 form-factor, the MP700 installs easily into desktop motherboards for great all-around compatibility. To achieve its optimal performance, the MP700 requires additional cooling, with users able to choose between using their motherboard's integrated M.2 cooling system, or an aftermarket M.2 SSD cooler such as the CORSAIR Hydro X Series XM2 Water Block. This water block fits easily into your custom cooling loop, delivering top-of-the-line cooling and performance while virtually eliminating throughput throttling.

Like all CORSAIR SSDs, the MP700 is supported by free CORSAIR SSD Toolbox software, enabling convenient features such as secure erase and firmware updates directly from your desktop. With a five-year warranty for extended peace of mind that your storage will remain fast and reliable, the MP700 takes full advantage of PCIe Gen 5 technology to set a new standard for M.2 performance.

Availability and Warranty
The CORSAIR MP700 PCIe Gen 5 x4 NVMe M.2 SSD is available immediately from the CORSAIR webstore and the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors.

The MP700 is backed by a five-year warranty, alongside the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network.

Cost saving perhaps because Corsair doesn't profit much on storage products compared to other offerings from the more popular brands.

I believe what Corsair will do is introduce this model first and then an MP700 Pro model later on in the latter half of 2023.

Perhaps, as long as they get the speeds up to match the competition, AND release a 4TB model, AND get them out before Prime Day & Black Friday sales begin, that might work out for them, otherwise they gonna be missing out on a ton of sales/profits going into the holidays....
