Corsair Releases MP700 ELITE Series PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSDs

Corsair today announced the immediate release of the MP700 ELITE series of PCIe 5.0 SSDs. These new drives bring the next generation of storage technologies to mainstream markets, offering incredible performance and reliability at a more affordable price point. The MP700 ELITE boasts incredible sequential read speeds of up to 10,000 MB/sec and sequential write speeds of up to 8,500 MB/sec, powered by the cutting-edge PCIe 5.0 x4 controller. This leap in performance ensures users can experience faster boot times, quicker game loads, and seamless file transfers, taking their overall computing experience to new heights.

Featuring High-Density 3D TLC NAND, the MP700 ELITE series provides the perfect blend of performance and endurance, keeping your system running smoothly for years. With support for Microsoft DirectStorage, these drives can communicate directly with your graphics card, significantly reducing load times for compatible games and enhancing gameplay.
Utilizing the compact M.2 2280 form factor, the MP700 ELITE is available both with a heatsink for desktop motherboards, and also without a heatsink for use with integrated motherboard cooling and in compatible laptops. Moreover, backward compatibility with PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 3.0 platforms ensures that a wide range of users can benefit from this advanced technology. A PCIe 5.0 platform, such as Intel's 800-series or AMD's 800-series is required for the highest throughput.

With a comprehensive five-year warranty and the Corsair SSD Toolbox software for advanced drive management, the MP700 ELITE series stands as a testament to Corsair's commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.

The Corsair MP700 ELITE series is available in 1 TB and 2 TB capacities immediately from the Corsair webstore and the Corsair worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors.

So the Elite, is slower than the Pro and Pro SE and about the same as the vanilla version. How does that make sense?

Don't forget the reduced endurance:
1TB Elite - 600TBW
1TB vanilla - 700TBW

in case of MP600 ELite it also is a DRAMless drive compared to others that have DRAM cache.

At the end of 2024 all they can announce is a slow (for gen 5) low capacity SSD? FFS we had much better options well over a year ago.

I know, but Corsair must think there is a market for this slow PCIe 5.0 drive otherwise why bother?

You'd still think Elite would be better than Pro, but apparently not...

Thank gigabyte for that, elite and ultra are budget, Pro is midrange, and master is high end

Yeah, a lot of naming schemes make no sense. Having worked at MSI at a point in time when they came up with new SKU names, it was the same. We came up with a naming scheme in the UK office, but the Taiwan HQ picked out a couple of the SKU names and then added their own in lieu of the ones they didn't like and nothing made sense.
