In our read-throughput test, the drive peaked at the 16MB block mark at 7,493.23MB/s, some 2,506MB/s short of the official maximum figure of 10,000MB/s. One thing to notice is that the performance curve of the Corsair MP700 Elite with Heatsink is so much smoother than any other Gen 5 drive tested here.

Although the Corsair drive throughput test result is nowhere near the official rating, it does keep it in touch, more or less, with the majority of the 10GB/s drives on this list.

In the write throughput test the drive peaked at 8,340.55MB/s at the end of the test, which is just 159.45MB/s shy of the official maximum figure for the drive.

Although the drive gets very close to the official sequential write maximum speed it's still only good enough to see the drive in the penultimate spot on the chart.
