The Corsair MP600 Pro Gen4 PCIe x4 NVMe M.2 SSD offers extreme storage performance and utilizes Gen4 PCIe technology to achieve blazing fast speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s sequential read and 6,850 MB/s sequential write. The high-density TLC NAND flash memory provides an ideal mix of performance, endurance, and value, with a lifespan of up to 3,600 TB written. The MP600 PRO is housed in a compact M.2 2280 form factor with an integrated aluminum heat spreader and connects via a high-speed NVMe 1.3 PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 interface. If you're looking for extreme storage performance, Gen4 is the way to go for lightning-fast speeds. This SSD transfers data using PCI-Express, leaving traditional SATA SSDs far behind in terms of transfer rates. M.2 SSDs are installed via the M.2 socket on the motherboard. Due to their compact dimensions, they are particularly suitable for use in ultrabooks and mini-PCs, but can also be used in standard computers. In systems with NVMe support, this SSD shines particularly well. You benefit from high throughput, high IOPS, and low latency. Unlike the older AHCI protocol, which was developed for traditional spinning drives, NVMe prevents performance drops, offers faster transfer of large data volumes, increased boot speeds, and improved system responsiveness. This SSD employs advanced 3D NAND flash memory technology. By vertically stacking the memory cells, it overcomes previous density limits typical of NAND storage media with flat cell structures, allowing for even more data to be stored per memory cell. This results in a faster, more durable, and significantly more energy-efficient SSD.
