Corsair MP700 Elite 2 TB NVMe SSD review
- The biggest issue with PCIe 5.0 drives is heat but Corsair's MP700 Elite aims to solve this with a low power draw and far lower temperatures
- It's built with Kioxia's latest 218-layer BiCS8 TLC NAND and Phison's E321T controller without any DRAM cache or buffers
- It is a single-sided M.2-2280 design well-suited for laptops but comes in only 1 TB or 2 TB configuration options
- Prices range from a relatively respectable $260 to 235 for the version with heatsink but it's not available yet in AUD
- The cool drive delivers relatively comfortable performance on the sequential front but dominates in random 4Ks
- In-game performance is middle-of-the-pack with a load time of 7.426 seconds in Final Fantasy's Shadowbringers benchmark
- The real kicker is the price of this 'mid-range' entry-level option in stiff competition from older hardware
- It is a solid all-round performer though if you're looking for something a little cheaper and budget is a factor
- Phison's controller is impressive but technology that could be better used to improve PCIe 6.0 SSD performance
- Excess heat from most modern PCIe 5.0 drives has already been accounted for and designed around
