The Corsair MP600 Core XT is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on April 25th, 2023. It is available in capacities ranging from 1 TB to 4 TB. This page reports specifications for the 1 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Corsair MP600 Core XT interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection.
