The Corsair MP700 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on January 27th, 2023. It is available in capacities ranging from 1 TB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 2 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Corsair MP700 interfaces using a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5026-E26 from Phison, a DRAM cache chip is available. Corsair has installed 232-layer TLC NAND flash on the MP700, the flash chips are made by Micron. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are absorbed more quickly. The cache is sized at 220 GB, once it is full, writes complete at 3500 MB/s. Copying data out of the SLC cache (folding) completes at 1500 MB/s. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 5.0 interface, performance is excellent. The MP700 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 10,000 MB/s and 10,000 MB/s write; random IO reaches 1500K IOPS for read and 1700K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 290 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Corsair guarantees an endurance rating of 1400 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
