Corsair MP700 Pro SE 2TB PCIe Gen5x4 M.2 NVMe SSD with Air Cooler

About Corsair MP700 Pro SE

The Corsair MP700 Pro SE 2TB PCIe Gen5x4 M.2 NVMe SSD with Air Cooler is a high-performance solid-state drive designed for enthusiasts, gamers, and professionals who demand top-tier speed and low latency.

Interface: Utilizes the PCIe Gen 5.0 x4 interface with the NVMe 2.0 protocol, delivering the absolute fastest speeds currently possible for consumer M.2 drives.

Capacity & Form Factor: Offers 2TB of storage in the standard M.2 2280 form factor. It uses high-density 3D TLC NAND for a balance of speed and endurance.

Blazing Speeds: It boasts phenomenal sequential performance, with a maximum Sequential Read Speed of up to 14,000MB/s and a maximum Sequential Write Speed of up to 12,000MB/s. This is nearly double the speed of previous-generation PCIe 4.0 SSDs.

Random Performance: The drive also provides strong random performance, with up to 1.7M IOPS Random Read and 1.6M IOPS Random Write, crucial for fast application loading and multitasking.

Integrated Air Cooler: To sustain its extreme performance without thermal throttling, the MP700 Pro SE includes an integrated active air cooler (often a heatsink with a small fan). This cooling solution is necessary for maintaining peak speeds under heavy and sustained workloads, as PCIe 5.0 drives generate significant heat.

Endurance and Security: The 2TB model has an endurance rating of 1,400 TBW (Total Bytes Written), which ensures long-term reliability. It also supports AES 256-bit encryption for enhanced data security.

Compatibility: The drive is compatible with motherboards featuring a PCIe Gen 5.0 M.2 slot (such as those with Intel Z790 or AMD X670 chipsets) to achieve its full potential. It is also backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 slots, though performance will be limited. It is compatible with Microsoft DirectStorage, which enables faster game asset loading.
