Corsair Sneaks New SSDs Into Its Storage Lineup Including A Blazing Fast 8TB Drive
First up, the MP600 PRO NH. This drive uses the same Phison E18 controller as most of the fastest SSDs on the market, and Corsair rates it for some 7 GB/sec on sequential reads and 6.5 GB/sec on sequential writes. For random performance, the drive gets marked down for 1.2 million IOPS on reads and about 1 million IOPS on writes. It comes in capacities ranging from 500 GB to 8 TB, which is an awful lot of data to pack into a single M.2 slot.
Both drives are using 3D TLC NAND flash memory rather than QLC, so that should give them exceptional durability compared to entry-level SSDs, and likely contributes to the strong random performance as well. Both models also get a five-year warranty. Pricing starts at $58 for the 500GB MP600 GS, with the 1TB model starting at $93. Meanwhile, the faster MP600 PRO NH starts at $73 for 500GB, $113 for 1TB, $213 for 2TB, $530 for 4TB, and an eye-watering $1075 for the 8TB drive.
