The Corsair MP300 was a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on June 5th, 2018, that is no longer in production. It was available in capacities ranging from 120 GB to 960 GB. This page reports specifications for the 120 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the Corsair MP300 interfaces using a PCI-Express 3.0 x2 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5008-E8-10 from Phison, a DRAM cache chip is available. Corsair has installed 64-layer TLC NAND flash on the MP300, the flash chips are made by Toshiba. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are absorbed more quickly. Performance characteristics of the drive are unknown.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 50 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. The TBW rating for the Corsair MP300 120 GB is unknown.
