Unidad SSD Corsair 1 TB M.2 PCI Express 5.0 MP700 ELITE

The Corsair MP700 ELITE 1 TB M.2 SSD uses the PCIe 5.0 interface and high-density 3D TLC NAND to deliver very high sequential read and write speeds. In an M.2 2280 form factor without an attached heatsink, it fits directly into most motherboards and many compatible laptops. Performance and endurance depend on drive capacity and may be reduced when used in PCIe Gen4 systems. The drive supports Microsoft DirectStorage for faster game load times on compatible systems.

Advantages

The drive offers PCIe 5.0-level transfer rates for faster booting, game loading and file transfers compared with previous-generation drives. High-density 3D TLC NAND provides a balance of sustained performance and endurance suitable for everyday desktop and gaming workloads. Its compact M.2 2280 form factor ensures wide motherboard and laptop compatibility without requiring an integrated heatsink.

Suitable for

• High-performance gaming PCs and workstations
• Fast system boot drives and primary OS installations
• Applications requiring rapid sequential read/write, such as large file transfers or video editing scratch storage

Key specifications

• Form factor: M.2 2280
• Interface: PCIe 5.0
• Capacity: 1 TB
• Sequential read speed: up to 10000 MB/s
• Sequential write speed: up to 8500 MB/s
• Flash type: 3D TLC NAND
• Weight: 0.028 kg

How to use

Install the MP700 ELITE into an available M.2 2280 slot on a compatible motherboard or laptop following the system manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the host supports PCIe x4 lanes for best performance; when installed in PCIe Gen4 or lower slots, maximum PCIe 5.0 speeds will not be reached. After physical installation, initialize and format the drive in your operating system, then transfer files or install the OS and applications as required. For games that support Microsoft DirectStorage, enable any required OS and driver features to take advantage of direct GPU streaming.

Recommendations

If maximum sustained performance is required, use the drive in a motherboard M.2 slot wired for PCIe 5.0 x4 and ensure system BIOS, chipset drivers and NVMe drivers are up to date. Allow sufficient cooling in compact laptop systems, and back up important data regularly to protect against drive failure.
