Corsair Officially Launches NX500 PCIe SSDs

Corsair is finally launching its Neutron NX500 Series NVMe PCIe SSDs. Curiously, the SSDs quietly turned up on sale at Newegg last month without any formal launch. A day later, Newegg removed the listings. Corsair, though, is now ready to officially unveil the PCIe SSDs. The drives come in 400GB and 800GB capacities, with a 1.6TB model to follow very soon.

Corsair Neutron NX500 Specifications

  • NVMe Interface Faster than SATA 3.0: Up to 5X faster in sequential read and write than SATA 3.0.
