The new Corsair MP700 ELITE brings PCIe 5.0 technology to the mass market for the first time in the SSD sector and promises outstanding speeds and reliability for modern systems. This SSD is aimed at anyone looking for maximum performance, whether for gaming, extensive data processing or all-round PCs. Thanks to impressive read and write speeds and optimized compatibility, the MP700 ELITE sets new standards for high-speed storage.
Important features of the Corsair MP700 ELITE at a glance:
- Read speed up to 10,000 MB/s and write speed up to 8,500 MB/s for extremely fast load times.
- PCIe 5.0 x4 technology for improved data transfer rates and lower latencies.
- Support for Microsoft DirectStorage, which further optimizes gaming performance.
- Compact M.2 2280 form factor and available with or without heatsink for flexible installation options.
PCIe 5.0: Faster, more reliable, future-oriented
With the introduction of the MP700 ELITE, Corsair has opted for the high-performance PCIe 5.0 standard, which offers double the possible bandwidth compared to PCIe 4.0. The SSD achieves impressive sequential read speeds of up to 10,000 MB/s and write speeds of up to 8,500 MB/s. These speeds result in fast boot times, virtually lag-free loading of games and smooth file transfers. The MP700 ELITE is therefore a promising option for users with particularly high demands on speed and reliability.
The SSD is equipped with 3D TLC NAND, which ensures high memory cell density and durability. Thanks to this technology, the MP700 ELITE is not only extremely powerful, but also remains reliable for years, even with intensive use.
Microsoft DirectStorage: Better gaming performance thanks to direct GPU connection
A particularly interesting feature of the MP700 ELITE is its support for Microsoft DirectStorage. This technology enables the SSD to communicate directly with the graphics card, which significantly reduces loading times in compatible games. For gamers, this means faster loading times and an overall smoother gaming experience, especially in graphically demanding titles. DirectStorage support is particularly effective in combination with modern hardware such as PCIe 5.0 platforms.
Flexibility and compatibility: A drive for every system
The Corsair MP700 ELITE comes in a compact M.2 2280 form factor and is available with or without a heatsink. The version with heatsink is ideal for desktop systems, while the version without heatsink can be used in laptops and systems with integrated cooling. The drive is also backwards compatible with older PCIe standards (PCIe 4.0 and 3.0). This means that users with older hardware can also benefit from the advantages of the MP700 ELITE, although maximum performance is only achieved on a PCIe 5.0 platform, such as on mainboards from the 800 series from Intel or AMD.
The ease of installation and flexibility of use make the MP700 ELITE an excellent choice for users looking for a modern and powerful storage solution without having to replace all their hardware.
Five-year warranty and easy management with the Corsair SSD Toolbox
Corsair underlines its confidence in the quality of the MP700 ELITE with a comprehensive five-year warranty. In addition, the SSD can be managed using the Corsair SSD Toolbox software, which enables functions such as drive diagnostics and firmware updates. This additional software ensures that the SSD runs optimally and that users can always take advantage of the latest optimizations.
Conclusion: Corsair MP700 ELITE – top-class SSD performance for the future
The Corsair MP700 ELITE offers high-end performance and is a future-proof choice for demanding applications thanks to its support for PCIe 5.0 and DirectStorage. With speeds that go beyond the ordinary and a form factor that fits into a variety of systems, the MP700 ELITE delivers flexibility and top performance at the same time. The SSD is now available in 1TB and 2TB capacities from the Corsair webshop and authorized resellers. Pricing varies depending on the model and provider.
