If what you are looking for is maximum performance, but with a price within reach of all pockets, The CORSAIR MP600 GS and MP600 PRO NH are excellent choices. We are talking, as you can see, of the two designed NVMe SSD storage units, how could it be otherwise for this manufacturer, thinking above all about the world of games, and therefore the essential role that storage media play in the gaming experience, something that has traditionally always been this and that, with the advent of DirectStorage, it took on a new dimension.

And as a quick reminder, this technology creates a direct channel between storage media and memory in a process where the CPU was previously between the two points. So even if we had the fastest SSD on the market, a certain limitation was the processor, which prevented us from fully utilizing the performance of the storage medium. However, with DirectStorage, the GPU directly receives and processes those elements that previously passed through the processor, and for this purpose its performance is significantly higher. In other words, now the SSD must be on par with the GPU…and that is a very high level.

To ensure this performance, the CORSAIR MP600 GS and MP600 PRO NH are added to the PCIe Gen4 SSD solution catalog, making them compatible with the entire fleet of current gaming systems (as opposed to what happens with PCIe Gen5, a faster but much newer implementation). This makes them not only a very good choice for building a new PC, but also for upgrading existing ones.

For models, we start with the CORSAIR MP600 GS in 500 gigabyte, one and two terabyte versions. We found ourselves with a device designed to last, thanks to him 1200 TB/write life (for the 2 terabyte model) and that thanks to its M.2 2280 shape and great slimness, it can be installed even in relatively compact systems where size is a key element.

But don’t let that trick you into thinking average performance. This drive is based on high density 3D TLC NAND technology and is capable of delivering speeds up to 4,800 MB/s sequential read and up to 3,900 MB/s sequential write (for the one terabyte model). These three models are already on the CORSAIR website (although the two-terabyte model is not in stock as of the date of publication of this news) and their prices are respectively 500 gigabytes, one terabyte and two terabytes, from 74.99 euros, 119.99 euros and 224.99 euros.

CORSAIR MP600 PRO NH SSDs go a step further in terms of performance, being able to deliver 7,000 MB/s sequential read speeds and 6,500 MB/s sequential write speeds, speeds that make them a highly recommended choice for more than just gaming , but also for tasks that are particularly demanding on the speed of managing large volumes of data, such as editing 4K video or working with a huge amount of information typical of a number of fields of deep data analysis and artificial intelligence. And when it comes to endurance, we can find up to up to 6,000 TB/write (for the eight-byte model)

With the MP600 GS, they share their M.2 2280 form factor and their great slimness, which again works in their favor and allows installation in systems with very little space. It differs in a huge variety of storage capacities, in that we find this CORSAIR MP600 PRO NH with a capacity of 500 gigabytes, one terabyte, two terabytes, four terabytes and, for those with enormous storage requirements, eight terabytes. We can already find all of them on the CORSAIR website and these are their prices:

• 500 gigabytes: 94.99 euros.
• 1 terabyte: 144.99 euros.
• 2 terabytes: 269.99 euros.
• 4 terabytes: 679.99 euros.
• 8 terabytes: 1,369.99 euros.
