To test the Corsair MP700 Micro 4TB in one of our test rigs, we used the Gen 5 version of the Sabrent NVMe M.2 SSD to PCIe x16/x8/x4 AIC we used to test the Gen 4 small format drives in the past. The Sabrent EC-TFPE is compatible with 2230 / 2242 / 2260 / 2280 form factors.
For more details, check the Sabrent website.

For testing, the drives are all wiped and reset to factory settings by HDDerase V4. We try to use free or easily available programs and some real-world testing so you can compare our findings against your own system.
This is a good way to measure potential upgrade benefits.

Main system:
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, 32GB DDR5-6000, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 and a Gigabyte AORUS X670E Xtreme motherboard.
