Corsair introduces MP700 Pro XT Gen5 SSD with up to 4TB of capacity

Corsair has unleashed its new flagship PCIe 5.0 SSD for the storage market, the MP700 Pro XT. This new flagship Gen 5 M.2 drive is aimed squarely at enthusiasts and power users who want to push the limits of PCIe Gen 5 performance.

Powered by a next-generation controller, the MP700 Pro XT is pushing the boundaries of the M.2 interface. Corsair claims sequential read speeds of up to 14,900 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 14,500 MB/s. These are some of the fastest speeds we've seen to date, promising near-instantaneous boot-ups and load times. In addition, Corsair claims the maximum random read speed can reach 2.7M IOPS, and the maximum random write speed can reach 3.3M IOPS. Despite this incredible performance, Corsair also highlights that the drive has a power-efficient design to help keep heat in check.

The drive, of course, supports Microsoft DirectStorage for faster game loading by allowing the GPU to communicate directly with the SSD. To manage the driver, the user can use the Corsair SSD Toolbox software. Moreover, the driver has an endurance of 700 TBW per TB and is backed by a five-year warranty.

For those looking to make the jump, the Corsair MP700 Pro XT is available to purchase starting today in 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB capacities, with even more options planned for early 2026. The 1 TB model costs £159.99/$159.99/€179.99, the 2 TB model costs £259.99/$249.99/€294.99, and the 4 TB model costs $459.99.

KitGuru says: Given its price, which MP700 Pro XT variant would you get, if any?
