Introduction

Corsair is a US-based peripherals and hardware company founded in 1994. It is now one of the leading manufacturers for gaming gear, with a portfolio spanning nearly every component you need: DRAM memory modules, flash SSDs, keyboards, mice, cases, cooling, and much more.



Today, we're reviewing the Corsair MP600 Elite solid-state drive. This new SSD is equipped with PCIe Gen 4 support and features a cutting-edge Phison E27T controller—this is our first review of the E27T. With an M.2 2280 form factor, it seamlessly fits into all modern computers and laptops. The NAND flash chips utilized are made by Toshiba, featuring their 162-layer 3D TLC. A DRAM cache chip is not available, to reach the drive's price point.

The Corsair MP600 Elite (with heatsink) is available in capacities of 1 TB ($95) and 2 TB ($170). There's also a model without heatsink for $90 / $165. Endurance for these models is set to 600 TBW and 1200 TBW, respectively. Corsair includes a five-year warranty with the MP600 Elite SSD.
