Corsair MP600 PRO 2TB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen. 4 x4 SSD Review

Corsair has long been one of the biggest names in the PC business, delivering award-winning hardware throughout all their ranges. They’ve got some of the fastest SSD and memory products on the market too, so it’s safe to say I have very high expectations of their latest drive. The MP600 Pro ticks a lot of high-end boxes, promising PCIe Gen 4 performance for ultra-fast read and write speeds. Plus, at 2TB, it’s a fairly large consumer M.2 drive, although such a capacity isn’t going to be cheap, it’s also available in 500GB and 1TB capacities to suit your requirements and budget.

Of course, it being expensive isn’t really an issue, so long as you’re getting a good return on your investment. With a PCIe Gen4 x4 controller, you’re going to be getting the best performance possible from the latest Intel and AMD platforms. That means sequential read speeds of up to 4950 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 4250 MB/s. At those speeds, you’ll be seeing fewer tool-tips on those loading screens! The drive utilizes the latest 3D TLC NAND, with an endurance rating of up to 3600 TB written. Furthermore, their custom M.2 heatsink is pre-applied to the drive, ensuring the drive is well protected and also keeping it cool to maintain its high-speed performance.
