Corsair launches its fastest PCIe 5 SSD yet

Corsair has just announced a new addition to its line-up of SSDs. The MP700 Pro SE PCIe 5.0 SSD is the company's fastest storage solution, capable of achieving a sequential read speed of up to 14,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 12,000 MB/s. 

The MP700 Pro SE uses the industry-standard M.2 2280 form factor, which ensures broad compatibility with various systems and platforms while preserving the simplicity of installation. The drive requires cooling to work optimally, but most motherboards nowadays do offer M.2 cooling, usually passively through a heatsink, which should be enough. 

Alternatively, there's a Hydro X Series water block variant that can be integrated into a custom cooling loop. This alternative, which comes with industry-standard 1/4″ fittings, suits customers looking to maximise drive-throughput for intense workloads. In addition, Corsair is also planning to launch an air-cooled variant.

Corsair also offers a free SSD Toolbox app with features such as secure erase and firmware updater. The 2TB and 4TB Corsair MP700 Pro SE PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe 2.0 M.2 SSDs are now available, and the air-cooled MP700 Pro SE will be available in June. The 4TB models cost £624.99 (standard) and £639.99 (water-cooled). As for the 2TB models, we only have a price for the water-cooled one, which goes for £344.99.
