CORSAIR announced the launch of a new generation of its SSD MP700which passes through the NVMe interface to take full advantage of the speed provided by PCIe 5.0 and with the usual compatibility when using the M.2 2280 format.

The CORSAIR MP700 is an ultra-fast SSD that relies on high-density 3D TLC NAND technology and is capable of speeds of up to 10,000 megabytes per second for both sequential reads and sequential writes, although you have to use a good amount of dissipation to achieve this. This is officially supported by the interface PCIe 5.0 quad lane (x4)works with a voltage of 3.3 a supports 256-bit AES encryption as a means of protecting user data.

In addition to the specifications of the SSD itself, the CORSAIR MP700 supports this feature DirectStorage from Microsoft, which allows any software that implements it (especially video games) to offload data decompression tasks installed on SSDs to the GPU, reducing CPU usage and load times. Of course, DirectStorage is only present in DirectX 12 and in the software whose developer chose to implement it.

How DirectStorage works.

The CORSAIR MP700 is an SSD designed to take full advantage of the latest generation of AMD and Intel platforms and offer the most agile system experience, although this should not prevent its use on older platforms in exchange for the expected reduction in data speed. transfer.

The CORSAIR MP700 SSD is available with 1TB and 2TB storage so that the user can enjoy the latest generation of video games without having to worry about the available space. The variant with the least amount of storage has a retail price of 194.99 euros, while the one with the most amount officially costs 319.99 euros.
