Corsair MP700 PRO 1TB internal SSD

Corsair MP700 PRO 1TB Gen5 NVMe SSD

The Corsair MP700 PRO is a 1TB internal solid-state drive built on a Gen5 PCIe x4 NVMe 2.0 interface. It uses high-density 3D TLC NAND to deliver sequential read speeds up to 12,400MB/s and write speeds up to 11,800MB/s. The M.2 2280 form factor fits standard desktop and laptop slots. No heatsink is included so separate cooling is required.

Suits Gen5 builds needing maximum throughput

This drive suits enthusiasts building PCIe Gen5 platforms who want peak sequential performance for large-file workloads and DirectStorage gaming. It is backward compatible with Gen4 slots where it will run at Gen4 speeds. Buyers without adequate motherboard cooling or those preferring a drive with a pre-fitted heatsink should consider alternative models.

12,400MB/s sequential read decides fit

The headline figure of 12,400MB/s sequential read defines whether this SSD matches your workload. Sustained transfers at this rate demand a motherboard M.2 slot with robust thermal management. If your cooling solution cannot maintain temperatures below the 70°C operating limit, throttling will reduce real-world throughput.
