Corsair delivers peak PCIe 5.0 speeds with its new MP700 PRO XT

Corsair extends its PCIe 5.0 offerings with its MP700 PRO XT and MP700 Micro

Corsair has just added two new SSDs to its PCIe 5.0 storage lineup, promising high-end SSD performance and Microsoft DirectStorage support. Catering to the high-end market, Corsair’s new MP700 PRO XT SSD promises performance levels that reach the limits of the PCIe 5.0 interface. Next, there is the MP700 Micro, which delivers PCIe 5.0 speeds within the compact M.2 2242 form factor. Both of these SSDs support Corsair’s SSD Toolbox software, making firmware updates simple.

The MP700 PRO XT achieve sequential read/write speeds of up to 14,900/14,500 MB/s using 3D TLC NAND. This drive is available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities, with “additional capacity options” due to arrive in “early 2026”. This should mean that the PRO XT should have a larger 8TB option next year. Extreme speeds and insane storage cappacity!

The MP700 Micro can deliver sequential read/write speeds of up to 10,000/8,500 MB/s, delivering high levels of SSD performance within the compact M.2 2242 form factor. This drive is available with 2TB and 4TB options.

These new SSDs are now available from the Corsair webstore and partnered retailers worldwide.
