Expert reviews and ratings

The Corsair MP700 is a fast, PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD that brings enthusiast levels of storage performance to desktops. It exhibited no real downsides, but faster PCIe 5.0 SSDs are on the immediate horizon.

The Corsair MP700 PCIe Gen5 SSD is rated for up to 9,500MB/s read speeds and 8,500MB/s write speeds, with up to 1.6 million 4KB random write IOPS. That's pretty speedy, with a five-year warranty to back it up.

Faster than a PCIe 4 drive, but at this price you may as well spend a little extra money for the Crucial T700, which is much faster in sequential tests.

Corsair's MP700 2TB is the best value going for speedy PCIe Gen5 goodness.

Corsair's MP700 internal SSD can help take your gaming or content creation to a new level, but you'll need to buy or build a new, PCI Express 5.0-compatible PC to take full advantage of it.

Finally! Our first PCIe 5.0 SSD review is live, covering the Corsair MP700 SSD that just got announced today. In the months leading up to this launch we've been hearing a lot about the new Gen 5 solid-state-drives, which can reach twice the throughput of Gen 4 SSDs, thanks to a doubling of the interface transfer rate. In theory PCIe 5.0 x4 allows 16 GB/s—Corsair advertises "up to 10 GB/s" in their marketing materials.
