Corsair MP600 PRO CSSD-F1000GBMP600PRO 1 TB

Realizing that support for the PCI-E 4.0 bus and speeds under 7000 Mb / s will not surprise anyone today, Corsair gave vent to feelings, remembered the old days and launched a line of extravagant drives for gamers and Corsair MP enthusiasts. Among them, I especially remember the record-breaking fast and cold MP600 PRO XT with a thick wave-shaped heatsink and MP600 PRO XT Hydro, which became one of the first SSDs in the world with its own liquid cooling system. The MP600 PRO in question cannot boast of such exoticism - it's just a very fast and reliable SSD, which is ready to be plugged out of the box into a free slot of the PS5 console.

According to the behests of Sony MP600 PRO belongs to the M.2 SSD form factor and supports the fourth generation high-speed PCI-E bus. It is based on high-density 3D TLC NAND flash memory, has a dynamic cache and is controlled by the new Phison E18 controller, which was designed with new realities in mind. The drive delivers sequential read speeds up to 7000MB/s and write speeds up to 6800MB/s. By comparison, the Samsung EVO Pro, which until recently was considered the benchmark in the world of storage, can provide a sequential read speed of 7000 MB / s, while writing is limited to 5500 MB / s.

And this is by no means a stone in the garden of Samsung, but rather a statement of the fact that the situation on the solid-state market has almost leveled off and in the near future the decisive factor when buying will be price, reliability and some additional goodies. With the latter, the Corsair MP600 PRO is in perfect order - the TBW of the drive is 700 TB (5-year warranty), the radiator cools the memory controller perfectly (the temperature does not exceed 70 °C), and the drive itself is mounted as easy as shelling pears even without a screwdriver, and the plump ribbed heatsink can be easily removed , so even inexperienced users can handle the installation. In addition, with the replacement of the drive, the side panels of the PS5 can also be updated, which have recently been available to order from the official Sony store.
