MP700 Elite, Corsair’s new PCIe 5.0 SSD, promises up to 10,000MB/s

Corsair launched today, November 5th, its new MP700 Elite, a PCIe 5.0 SSD made with 3D NAND TLC. Using the most current connection interface for home PCs, the product can reach up to 10,000MB/s in reading, with recording estimates reaching 8,000MB/s.

The new SSD MP700 Elite use the M.2 2280 format, and the manufacturer highlights the wide compatibility of the drives. Not being restricted to the PCIe 5.0 interface, they can be used in generations 4.0 and even 3.0 of the technology – obviously bottlenecking performance.

Mais SSDs PCIe 5.0:

To ensure support for a wider range of devices, Corsair offers versions of the MP700 Elite with or without a heatsink. Therefore, the manufacturer chose to place a considerably “advanced” heatsink in the product, since buyers will have the option of purchasing a drive without the component if necessary.

Price and availability of the new Corsair MP700 Elite SSDs

Corsair’s new MP700 Elite SSD series has two capacity options: 1TB and 2TB. As each configuration can come with or without a heatsink, there are four products in total. They are now available on the manufacturer’s official website in the USA:

Basically, we could say that the heatsink costs US$5. At the time of writing this post, the 1TB option without the heatsink is “out of stock”, but the others are available.

Finally, the product already has a page on the official Corsair website in Brazil as well. However, there is no link to purchase here at the moment.

As usual for new technologies, the first PCIe 5.0 SSDs arrived with record-breaking speeds and premium values. Now we are seeing less fast models appear, with more affordable prices.
